- The Chain
- HBO has given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order for THE CHAIN, a new limited series written and executive produced by Emmy®-winner Damon Lindelof (HBO’s “The Leftovers,” “Watchmen”). Lindelof will showrun, a position not held since HBO’s “Watchmen.” HBO has also signed a two-year overall deal with Lindelof which began in September 2025.
- Based on the acclaimed New York Times bestselling book by Adrian McKinty of the same name, THE CHAIN is the first project under this deal with the Emmy®-nominated television studio Media Res (“The Morning Show,” “Pachinko”) serving as the co-studio. Details are under wraps, but Lindelof is said to be expanding the mythology of McKinty’s award-winning thriller.
- Edgar Wright was going to turn this into a movie a few years ago: https://www.slashfilm.com/574844/the-chain-movie/
- the “expanding the mythology” aspect is intriguing, because the premise of the book sounds pretty bonkers
- The Chain tells the story of Rachel, who learns that her 11-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. The only way to get her back is to kidnap another child. Her daughter will be released only when that next victim’s parents kidnap another child. If Rachel doesn’t kidnap another child, or if that child’s parents don’t kidnap a child, her daughter will be murdered. She is now part of The Chain, a terrifying and meticulous chain letter-like kidnapping scheme that turns parents from victims into criminals. The book tells Rachel’s harrowing story as victim, survivor, abductor and criminal. What the masterminds behind The Chain know is that parents will do anything for their children. But what they don’t know is that in Rachel they have finally met their match, as she is smart and tough enough to have survived a bout with cancer and is determined to break The Chain while getting her daughter back.

(~38:00) Geraldine Viswanathan interview
(~52:34) Listener email
YiFeng from Boston wrote in, offering some more information about the conversation Bill and I had about physical media last week:
-
The biggest jump in quality on disc vs streaming is audio! Currently, ALL streaming platforms are lossy. An average 2hr film is around 500 megabytes lossy for streaming (equivalent to crappy mp3s) vs 5 GIGAbytes lossless (basically identical to studio masters, with no loss at all). So if Wes has full range speakers, you can tell movie soundtracks on Blu-rays have 10x more information than any streaming platforms.
-
As for video quality, bitrate-wise the most famous example is the Game of Thrones episode, “The Long Night,” which was a pixelated dark mess on HBO Max, but on 4k disc using a properly calibrated Dolby Vision display, you won’t see pixelization nor macroblocking but pristine high quality hdr image. The biggest selling feature of 4k is hdr!
-
At the time of this email, Gemini Man (and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk) are the only two titles on 4k disc encoded with 60fps dolby vision. Every other 4k disc is 24fps. Currently, 4k discs do not allow for higher than 60fps but can potentially be updated to be variable or 120fps, but as of today, it tops out at 60fps.

(~14:01) Nobody 2 spoiler-free conversation
Nobody 2 Review: Bob Odenkirk Is Invincible In A Violent, Fun Sequel That Wastes No Time
(~23:10) Listener emails:
Lorenzo wrote in responding to our conversation about James Gunn’s Superman. “Lex’s employee with the mustache is a character named Sydney Happersen. He was introduced during John Byrne’s post-Crisis Superman run, and he worked with Lex there in the comics too. Coincidentally, he was introduced in the same comic book issue as Amanda McCoy, who is another associate of Lex’s who also recently made her live-action debut (during the final season of Superman & Lois).
James Gunn has lamented having locked himself into using Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after setting him up in a credits scene in Vol. 2 and is therefore trying to move away from using credits scenes to set the stage for future projects. This, I think, explains why he opted to introduce Supergirl prior to the credits rolling on Superman. As for the way in which Supergirl is depicted in her cameo, her upcoming film is based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow series, which begins with Supergirl getting drunk on a planet with a red sun as alluded to in her cameo. With regards to Lobo’s role in the Supergirl movie, I don’t think we can really say with much certainty that Kara and Lobo will be “teaming up”. Lobo was not in the Woman of Tomorrow comics. While King initially planned to use Lobo in that run, Lobo didn’t wind up making it in when all was said and done. However, based on those comics I think it’s pretty easy to surmise how Lobo might be incorporated into the film adaptation, and it’s not as an ally to Kara. I think that Lobo will sort of be competing with Supergirl to get to Krem (the big bad of the comic and the movie) first to collect a bounty on him. Lobo is an antihero, so perhaps by the end of the film he will wind up on Supergirl’s side, but I think he will mostly be an antagonist in the movie.
I was shocked to hear you guys weren’t fond of the song choice during the Mr. Terrific fight scene. I think that song is lovely. It feels like it could’ve come right off the 50 First Dates soundtrack.
(~26:06) Wes from Dallas Fort-Worth wrote in and said:
Just wanted to get some help with selecting physical media. I would like to get back into buying Blu-rays but this time, I plan to be very selective and get only the best quality versions.
When shopping for them, I see that it has become a mess as there’s just basic movies on Blu-ray, there’s special feature Blu-rays, and then there’s those like the upcoming Tombstone re-release that is probably the best quality you’ll be able to find it in.
So my questions are:
-
What do I look for on the box to know that this is actually the very best version of a film and that I’m not just buying a standard copy that was out on Blu-ray.
-
Could you do a ranking of the best Blu-rays that have the definitive versions of a movie?
-
With bandwidth speeds increasing, do you think streaming from Netflix or iTunes will get to the same quality as these Blu-ray’s?
-
Off topic - any chance we’ll ever get to see the 120 fps version of Gemini Man somewhere, especially since many TVs now support this?

Listener email: Jason from Virginia wrote us an email at bpearson@slashfilm.com and said:
“I heard the conversation between yourself and Ryan discussing the new version of Lilo & Stitch potentially making more money than people think, and I just wanted to contribute my two cents. My wife and I went to Europe for a week and a half at the beginning of December (Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands). In almost every store that we went in, there was something with Stitch on it. Clothing, glasses, stuffed animals, little action figures. It got to a point where my wife and I were making a game of it and were actively looking for Stitch. I had no idea that Stitch was this popular in Western Europe. I don't know if that will impact the box office, but I can't help but agree with Ryan that this movie will make a lot more than I originally anticipated. I have been listening since the very beginning, and I appreciate all that you do.”

Shout-out to Zach from East Central Wisconsin, who wrote in on January 29 and lightly chastised us for being pretty dismissive of Dogman seemingly out of ignorance to the property. I’ll read a little from his email: “I’m a childless man-child in his mid-30s who follows the comics and graphic novels industry, so my knowledge comes from that world, where Dogman is an absolute juggernaut. In any year end sales data breakdown for graphic novels, Dogman’s now 12 volumes are often the majority of the top 20, outselling by large magnitudes the most storied franchises in that space (Spider-Man, Batman, Watchmen).” Skipping ahead, he says, “Although I can’t speak to its quality, this movie has a gigantic built-in audience that if it hits will most likely result in a moderate to major success.”

On the December 16, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the weekend box office numbers and answer a couple of your emails.
Listener emails: Terry from Oakland, CA: Love the podcast. I’ve been listening to it from day one, although I often disagree with what I hear. I love the conversation and the different perspectives. It’s always a joy to hear Chris’ dour voice. Warms the cackles of my heart. But as far as the top five Denzel movies. I’m pretty sure I was, like many of your other Black listeners, screaming at our phones or whatever they listen to the podcasts on. You all made some great points and had some great picks. There were some deep cuts in there. I appreciate you highlighting the relationship between Denzel and Spike Lee. They are cinematic gold.
But to be clear, there’s no way Man on Fire sits on that list over Glory. I understand the desire to want to have “action Denzel” on the list. I think for a lot of people, Training Day is action Denzel turnt up. I think that all those Tony Scott action movies and Training Day have a similar version of Denzel. Glory is different. The rawness of his acting. The hint of charm beneath that rage. The arc of his character. It really mirrors the arc of Malcolm X. I saw both of those movies in the theater and they had a profound impact on many of us. Man of Fire was great, but doesn’t rank as one of his top 5 greatest performances. Macbeth must be on the list, although I would have had Mo Betta Blues, and Mississippi Masala deserves an honorable mention. Love you guys!!!
Andrew from Wichita: I subscribe to Peacock and Paramount+. Each year I wait until Black Friday when they offer deals and then subscribe. This year, for example, Peacock is offering a full year for $20. How do these deals keep these streaming services alive?
Richard from San Antonio: Love the show and listen to every episode. I hate to be “that guy,” but the way you all have pronounced Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s (BON-HOFFER) name kills me every time. Haven’t seen the film, but he’s a super interesting historical figure. German pastor who studied in the States and was influenced by the people he met in Harlem. When he moved back to Germany, he was arrested for plotting to kill Hitler. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

Listener email:
Dear Ben and BJ,
First, I just want to say how much I enjoy the show. I have been listening for a couple years now and always enjoy your commentary as well as the other members of /film, particularly BJ Colangelo. In fact, my teenage daughter and I went to see the film blink twice based on your enthusiastic review.
After listening to the episode reviewing blink twice, as well as hearing BJ discuss the film on The Filmcast podcast, in addition to reading your article about the ending of the movie, I had to write in.
My daughter and I are both big horror movie fans, and really loved the film, so thank you again for the recommendation. However, I was fascinated when we walked out of the movie as she saw the ending very differently than I did…. when the camera shows Frida talking to Sara outside in the grass, looking at the burning house, and then slowly pans to Slater king as Sarah says, do you wish you had made a different choice?…. My daughter Violet read that as Frida deciding to save King rather than Frida, but obviously having mixed feelings about that terrible choice, which she would’ve had to make quickly while the house was burning down. So I guess she read it as a much darker ending, with Frida, abandoning the sisterhood, saving king and then subjugating him, and taking over his empire. But obviously having a little bit of conflicted feelings and guilt that she should’ve saved Sara instead (hence, briefly hallucinating a conversation with Sara, calmly questioning the choice that she made, reflecting Frida‘s conscience).
She had the darker take, which she thought was indicated by seeds laid earlier in the film, such as Frida not believing and respecting her friend Jess’s worry that things are not right when just wants to leave the island. And of course, the Geena Davis character.
I just thought that was an interesting read on the ending that I’ve not seen discussed. Again, love the show, and keep doing great work on the website as well!
Take care
Jennifer (from San Antonio)

On the August 30, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about what we’re calling Steven Spielberg’s close encounters.
Movies that were eventually made, and not just ones that he considered making, but he seemed to actively work on in some capacity before not directing. So “Night Skies,” his sci-fi horror movie that would have been a spiritual follow-up to Close Encounters, does not count because that was never made and therefore we have nothing to judge.

On the August 19, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the biggest box office stories from this past weekend.
Listener emails: Ross W. from Ontario, California writes in: “Hey Ben, While I enjoyed you and Ryan talking about video game movies last Thursday, the one movie that I was shouting at my car speakers (not really) that you missed was Tron! I saw it in the theaters when it first came out (I’m old), and have loved it ever since. Jeff Bridges and David Warner are great in it, and those very early computer graphics still look amazing. Other than that, you guys did a great job (King of Kong is fantastic). Love the podcast, keep up the great work.
Brandon from Knoxville, TN writes: Ben and Ryan, I’m a film buyer at Regal who also oversees Indian and South Asian releases for our theatre network. Pleased to hear you acknowledge Indian films occasionally sneaking into the box office top 10 over the past handful of weeks on your July 29 episode. For the past few years, especially since the smash success of RRR in early 2022, interest from North American audiences in Indian and South Asian titles has steadily grown. Over 4 million people of South Asian descent call the United States home, and they have established a large and dedicated audience for Indian releases.
India produces more films by volume than Hollywood, with the main four languages of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Punjabi featuring in the majority of releases. The most highly anticipated movies also come to American theatres around major Indian holidays and festivals. Several titles are coming to theaters to mark India Independence Day on August 15, and multiple films could land in the domestic box office top 10. Dasara on October 12, Diwali on November 1, and Christmas should also see plenty of Indian movies at American cinemas with films featuring the most popular South Asian actors in some of 2024’s most notable releases. Looking forward to hearing more of your commentary on the Indian film industry in future podcasts!

On the August 5, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the weekend’s box office numbers and answer a couple of listener emails.
In The News:
- Top 10 rundown
- M. Night Shyamalan's Trap Catches $16 Million, But Deadpool & Wolverine Still Rule The Box Office
- Deadpool & Wolverine Breaks The Passion Of The Christ's R-Rated Box Office Record
- Deadpool & Wolverine Is Now The Biggest X-Men Movie Ever At The Box Office
Listener emails:
- Jerry from Ohio says: I love the podcast and enjoy most everything you do. However, I was disappointed in hearing a possible spoiler for Avengers: Secret Wars when Ryan mentioned that the storyline in the comic is that the multiverse collapses into one universe. As a person that hasn’t read any of the comics and doesn’t watch trailers or read up on things before they air to avoid spoilers, I was disappointed to hear what may be a huge spoiler. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. I still am a huge fan, keep up the great work!
- Zachary from East-Central Wisconsin says: Feels the reaction to the “Downey as Victor Von Doom” news has been a bit overblown. “Although the reveal that Downey is back in the franchise after his character was so memorably killed off 6 years ago was a shock, the main discourse I keep seeing acts as though “Tony Stark” with a cape will be walking around the MCU, creating moments of confusion and sadness in the hearts and minds of the MCU characters and audiences alike. But isn’t Doom’s whole thing that he gets scienced in the face and then hides it behind his iconic metal mask for the rest of forever? [...] Can’t we then assume that we probably won’t see much of his face, outside of any sort of flashbacks or variant version of the character? And if that’s the case, don’t we think that RDJ is a strong enough actor to make his performance and character choices unique enough to distinguish itself? [...] I think concern that Feige and Marvel will give in to their worst impulses with this is warranted, however, all the extreme negative opinions I’ve been seeing feel a bit premature and misguided.

Email: Someone who apparently works for Regal wrote in and said: On a recent episode, you mentioned Regal is in the midst of a bankruptcy and might not be around much longer. We in fact exited bankruptcy in 2023 and just announced $250 million in capital raised to renovate current locations. I get it’s cool to crap on bigger theatre chains, but let’s not spread incorrect negative news like that. We are all out here trying to do the same thing, and that is preserve the theatrical experience.

On the July 10, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor Jacob Hall to gather around the virtual water cooler and talk about what they’ve been up to.
Jake from Ontario wrote to us on June 30: My question concerns the growing disparity between the TV Critic and audience Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes. The Boys, The Acolyte, and The Bear all received glowing critics scores and negative audience scores. In a recent episode, Jacob mentioned that although he loved the first three seasons of The Boys, he didn’t enjoy season 4 and passed the review to a colleague who liked it more. This practice caught my attention.
Could you discuss the prevalence and ethics of this practice? Wouldn’t it be good business to publish a negative review when 9.3/10 sites are praising a show? In my opinion, Jacob would have been the perfect person to review this season and represent a large contingent of the audience who isn’t just reacting to the anti-MAGA politics, as some suggest is the reason for the lower audience score. Sorry if this sounds prickly, I’m legitimately curious to hear your thoughts.
PS: Please focus on this specific practice and avoid discussing review-bombing or the binary nature of the Tomatometer, as those topics have been covered well by the podcast in the past.
In the Water Cooler:
- What we’ve been Reading:
- Jacob read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, and Challenger by Adam Higginbotham.
- What we’ve been Watching:
- Ben watched The Last Stop in Yuma County, A Bigger Splash, The Paper, and Callaway Went Thataway.
- Jacob watched The Bear season 3, Ghosts, and A Quiet Place: Day One.

Listener email: Julie writes in: Love your show! I think the major reason people don’t go to chain theaters is not how big our TVs are or that everything is streaming, but the number of screens we have. We have 2 TVs, 2 laptops, and 2 cell phones for 2 people, and all have been used to watch movies. When I was a kid in the ‘70s, we had one TV in our living room that was controlled by my brother and my parents. If I wanted to watch anything else, I had to go to a movie theater. So when Bad News Bears came out, I saw it in the big chain theater 11 times! I love movies now, but do prefer one of the many repertory theaters we have here in Portland, Oregon. People are respectful and they serve beer/wine/cider and pizza without being expensive. I hardly ever go to our local chain theater, which is a pretty nice Regal, and when I do, there are usually about five other people in the theater and I never buy any concessions because it’s too expensive. I just can’t imagine it will be open much longer.
Listener email: Donnie from Florida writes in: Love the podcast and have been listening for years. Shout-out to Peter and Hoai-Tran Bui, I still miss hearing them. My question is how do you find things to watch on streaming services? I notice the menus are just awful. We can only find the current 8 to 10 things that that particular streaming service is pushing at the time. Is there a site or system that you, or anyone else at /Film, uses to find the needles in the haystack of horrible streaming service menus?
If Ryan happens to be on the episode, can he explain how the heck Peacock is still a thing?

On the July 5, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor BJ Colangelo to answer a listener email and talk about Ti West’s new movie MaXXXine.
Ronny Cox is not dead! Apologies!
Shout out to Angelica from North Texas, who wrote us an email pointing out a fascinating connection between the movie Burnt and season 3 of The Bear. Without spoiling things, I can say that there’s a moment in season 3 where Richie sees a fork on the floor of the restaurant, and if Angelica’s theory is correct, it could have pretty big consequences for what might happen in season 4. One Blink-And-You'll-Miss-It Moment In The Bear Season 3 Could Have Huge Consequences
Karissa from Wisconsin sent us an email last month that I’ve been meaning to get to, and I thought now would be a good time: Love the podcast, and have been listening for years. Lately, I’ve been intrigued by the discussion between you and Ryan about the state of theaters. My husband and I started dating at a theater, and always watched probably 2-3 movies a month in theaters before Covid. We love theaters so much that we had our wedding pictures in a new theater that was built in our town in 2015. However, Covid made us update our TV and sound system at home for watching movies. It also made us less tolerant of bad moviegoers.
Talking with our friends, we all agree that we have a great theater. However, we cannot stand the people that go to movies. Movies for us have been ruined by cell phones. Even adults are using their phones and being obnoxious during the movie. Between cell phone light and just rude talking, we barely see movies in theaters anymore. We started sitting in the front 3 rows, but half the time, we still see their lights because they’re so bright.
We get so annoyed with it, we are renting a theater for us and our friends to see Twisters in July. I can deal with whispering and occasional talking. I cannot deal with the constant cell phone use anymore. Do you think theaters could do anything about cell phones? I know that would bring a lot of people I know back to theaters.

On the June 24, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the weekend’s box office numbers.
In The News:
- Inside Out 2 Has Already Dethroned Dune 2 as the Biggest Movie of 2024 So Far
- Inside Out 2 Just Hit A Box Office Milestone Not Seen Since Avengers: Endgame
- A Quiet Place: Day One Set To Be 2024's First Big Horror Box Office Hit
- Russell Crowe’s Horror Flop The Exorcism Just Broke the Worst Kind of Box Office Record
In The Mailbag:
Dalton from Seattle wrote in: In response to you and Ryan discussing renting theaters: We have a theater in Seattle that does just what you two were describing. A few years ago, some friends and I rented out The Beacon Theaterhere in Seattle. It's a small, very fun vintage theater with one screen. They serve candy, popcorn, beer and wine. They offer an amazing service where you can request an old film, and they will track down the digital film print of the movie to screen for you. We watched the original Ghostbusters movie. It was such a blast. It's such a cool business idea. I'm hoping to rent it out and request the original 90's TMNT sometime in the near future. Thought you guys might get a kick out of that!
Finally circling back around to the rest of the email written in a while ago by Wes from Dallas/Ft. Worth, and there are multiple points to address here. First, he wants to know, Ryan, why the world of box office reporting does not always take inflation into account when comparing past data to current data.
Similarly: why is there such a focus on dollars and not the number of tickets sold?
While I wouldn't mind paying a premium to go to the movies, it would have to come with a premium experience, and it just isn't so. And what does that mean for people with lower incomes? Unfortunately, it seems like we are approaching a point where a premium experience may not even be possible if studios can't justify making enough movies for theaters to exist. Assuming movie theaters start closing down, what outlook do you see ten years from now if things don't change? Will going to the movies be like going to the Opera with limited showings only on specific dates and very expensive tickets? What changes would you make to fix the industry?

Listener email: Belinda wrote in: “You are probably not old enough to remember, but there used to be second run houses in Chicago. Movies would stay in the theater for maybe a month or more, then go to second run houses where the prices were deeply discounted. Now it seems the studios pull movies just a few weeks before it goes to streaming. But some movies I still want to see on a movie screen. Do you think that something like second run theaters have a chance of returning, especially for people who might have been delayed from seeing the movie in the first 3 or 4 weeks of its release? Could be great for families.

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day.
In The News:
- Furiosa's Opening Weekend Box Office Falls Far Behind Mad Max: Fury Road
Listener email: Mitch from Yuma, AZ wrote in: Hey Ben and Ryan, I just wanted to hear some more of your thoughts on what you talked about on last Monday’s episode. I was stunned when you said for a healthy box office, the average person needed to see 3-4 movies a year, because my wife and I see a movie at least every two weeks. I know we are above average, but I figured everyone went to the theater on average once a month. My question is, if we really only need 3-4 visits per person per year to have a healthy box office, why have the theaters not figured out a monthly subscription-based plan yet? I know there’s AMC Stubs A-List Premiere program, but I don’t know much about it because we don’t have an AMC in my town, we have a Harkins and a Regal. (My wife and I personally love Harkins.) There was the big fiasco known as MoviePass, but how does a program where you pay $30 a month to watch as many movies as you want NOT work? Give the studios 75% of that subscription, divvied up amongst them, while the theater makes their money on the concession sales, like they always do. The more times people are in the theater, the more popcorn and soda they will buy. I don’t know if you two have insight or ideas on how this could work or why it hasn’t yet, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thank you and keep up the great work.

In The News:
- Box office recap
Listener email: Melissa in St. Louis writes in: Hi Ben, I enjoy listening to the box office recap every week, and I wanted to reach out to you and Ryan to ask: How many movies should the average person go see in a year for a healthy domestic box office? When you talk about the money that needs to be made by a specific movie or the overall industry, I’m always curious how that breaks down to the level of a hypothetical individual audience member. I know there’s differing ticket prices and formats and all sorts of other variables, but I’d appreciate hearing your rough estimate of the Average Joe’s movie-going quota for a year, or even just the summer season.

On the April 25, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer Bill Bria to gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what they’ve been watching lately.
In the Water Cooler:
- What we’ve been Watching:
- Bill saw Hereditary in IMAX, the first two Maze Runner movies, and Cool as Ice.
- Ben caught up with The First Omen and Immaculate, watched all of Conan O’Brien Must Go, and saw Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.
- Listener e-mail: Lorenzo from Sarasota, FL, wrote in about our recent episode where we talked about our favorite vampire films. Lorenzo says “both of my favorite live-action vampire movies were mentioned, but my number 1 favorite vampire movie is actually an animated movie, and I wanted to give it a shout out: The Batman vs. Dracula.” He calls it “underseen and underrated,” and explains that though it’s set in the continuity of an animated series called The Batman that debuted in 2004, “the film is a standalone story that can easily also be enjoyed even without the context of the show.” He says it’s “atmospheric and creepy,” it stars Peter Stormare as the voice of Dracula, and it even gives us Vampire Joker, with Tom Kenny’s Penguin basically filling the Renfield role and delivering comedy gold throughout.”

Opening Banter: I want to read some quick feedback from our vampire episode yesterday. Eddie from Los Angeles wrote in saying “Thanks for another fun episode. Most of my favorite vampire movies at least got a shout out, but I do recommend 2012’s Byzantium, directed by Neil Jordan, who also directed Interview with a Vampire, and stars Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. It’s a more realistic take while still having style, and it covers some themes you won’t likely find in other vampire tales. I’ve always thought this was underrated and underseen, so check it out. And of course, where was Vampire’s Kiss?
In Our Feature Presentation:

Listener email from YiFeng from Boston, Mass:
I hate to bug you, but the recent podcast conversations about disc rot & backing up physical media have some misinformation that I'm hoping other listeners will write in and correct, but here are my corrections:
-
Hollywood/MPA issue commercial discs that are copyrighted protected by CSS, AACS, BD+, ROM Mark and probably many more techniques. You can't insert a disc into your computer and use a file explorer and just copy the disc - you will get an error.
-
If you want to backup ANYTHING from the disc, you will need to bypass copyright protection by using tools such as Redfox and DVDfab. Please note that at the time of this writing, US DMCA laws stipulates that you DO have a right to backup, but the tools used to rip discs are illegal, which is why all of them are from outside of America:
https://lifehacker.com/is-it-legal-to-rip-a-dvd-that-i-own-5978326
It's a bit of a gray/catch-22 type of scenario. Just a warning there.
-
Handbrake.fr is only a tool that will re-compress & shrink your disc files. For example a Blu-ray may contain a movie file that is 35 gigabytes, but you can use Handbrake to compress that down to 10 gigabytes - that is what the tool does. Handbrake and compression tools do NOT rip discs as they do not bypass the copyright protections put in place by the MPA.
-
Finally, regarding disc rot, the Library of Congress has a study on that from ~14+yrs ago but it's still relevant: https://www.loc.gov/preservation/scientists/projects/cd_longevity.html#:~:text=Statistical%20analysis%20of%20the%20EOL,reach%20EOL%20within%2010%20years
Basically the net sum is it is extremely small and that study encompassed computer CD ROM (beyond just movie discs). If anything, the disc qualities of today's Quality Assessment far surpasses that. I'd wager to say it's probably less than 1% if the library of Congress performs a study today. Most of the time, if you read the study, the rot has to do with users storing in high humidity, non-environmentally controlled locations. If you care for it, the disc will outlast humanity. It is (after all) plastic and we all know now that plastic is basically not going to degrade for hundreds of years (green issue is another whole separate conversation). Are there manufacturing errors? Absolutely, but they are extremely miniscule. Here is an example from Criterion below, but they still offer the program to replace the discs:
https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/3317-exchanging-defective-discs
Hopefully, this clears up some confusion. Quick summary is you can rip but you'll need to bypass copy protection, and disc rot is basically a non-issue.
Actually, that brings up another interesting point:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_degradation
Let's say you are Warner Brothers and you have the full uncompress filmmaker files of the camera capture or dcp on your servers, THOSE FILES WILL ALSO ROT even if they are on server/enterprise-grade hard drive!
There needs to be a process of not just making backup copies, but double checking that the data they have and also the backup copies are still not impacted by the rot. CURRENTLY, most enterprise data technicians do NOT have a process to account for data-rot. 99% of the enterprise companies do not even think about that.
Yes, they have backups, but if your original is rotted and you back up the rotted data, both your originals and your backed up copies are all junk because no one is opening the files to verify if the backups are still legit and clean. Maybe AI will help to protect against this, it can be done... but there is an added cost to make this work. No one is willing to foot the bill for it.
In other words, even backed up copies of movie media are subject to rot, just like physical nitrate/film negatives!

Listener email: Hey Ben! I was listening to you and Ryan on the podcast talking about disc media rot and just wanted to share with the class that there is a good computer program for taking a DVD or Blu-Ray and creating a copy of the contents on your computer. You can transfer all the properties of the movie, including subtitles, etc. The application is called HandBrake. Computer files are infinitely duplicatable, so you could put as many copies of the same movie on as many hard drives as your heart desires.
Obviously, this program could be abused and used for pirating movies (don’t use it for that!), but as long as you are only creating digital copies of movies that you bought and paid for and only for personal use, everything is kosher. Thanks! - Alec

E-mail: Phil from Germany wrote in a couple of weeks ago, and mentioned something in his email that I wanted to highlight here. He says: “The podcast keeps mentioning physical media and its recent bigger relevance than expected. Keep in mind that both DVDs and Blu-rays decay over time. Many of my untouched or barely touched DVDs from 20 years ago do not play completely anymore. My “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (still sealed) and “Veronica Mars” (played once before) collections only played half the episodes when I revisited these TV shows last year, and those were not the only ones. Blu-rays decay slower than DVDs, so going for those and creating backups seems to be the best way to keep the favorites available.

On the February 29, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about some of their favorite sci-fi sequels.
Opening Banter: Full disclosure, this episode might be chaotic. I had several plans for a themed Leap Day episode, and every single one of them ended up falling through, leaving me scrambling to come up with something to do at the last minute. But Ryan suggested we talk about some of our favorite sci-fi sequels in honor of Dune: Part Two, and since that movie actually does seem big enough to justify multiple episodes about it (or at least episodes that are ostensibly related to it), that sounded like a good idea to me.
In Our Feature Presentation:
- Ryan’s favorite sci-fi sequels
- 10 Cloverfield Lane
- Aliens
- Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
- Ben’s favorite sci-fi sequels
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
- Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

On the February 26, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the weekend’s box office numbers.
Opening Banter: Listener email from Sampson Dewitt: Hey gang, listener from Florida via Spotify. On Thursday’s episode, ya’ll discussed the cost of releasing movies to theatres and referenced the “print” cost possibly not applying. I was hoping you can elaborate on this: are the movies we see in major theatres no longer shown on film? One of the key reasons to go to a theatre for me is seeing the movie on film (similar to listening to music on vinyl as opposed to digital), so this would kind of be a bummer.

On the February 22, 2024 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: Listener email: Lance asks: There is a new kids movie on Paramount+ called The Tiger’s Apprentice. It’s a really solid movie with a good cast, including Michelle Yeoh. My question is, in a stretch between Migration and Kung Fu Panda 4, why does something like this not go to theaters? People that love taking their kids to the movies or kids having birthday parties don’t have anything right now, and this would have been perfect.

I was expressing concern about that, but YiFeng reminded me in this email that Toy Story 2 was originally being planned as a direct-to-video release, but ended up getting revamped for theatrical.
Sue from Colorado writes: Your reviews of old films are always interesting, and I was thrilled to listen to your review of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir this week. It’s been my all-time favorite movie for decades – a lovely blend of romance, comedy, history, ghost story, and drama, along with having a wonderful score. I’m so happy you enjoyed it, too.

On the February 16, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor BJ Colangelo to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Footloose.
Opening Banter: Quick admin note: We will not have an episode on Monday, because it’s Presidents Day.
In Our Feature Presentation: Footloose
- What’s your relationship to this movie?
- Ben just watched it for the first time
- Ridiculousness of the premise
- Preacher holds the town in an iron grip post-accident
- John Lithgow ends up relenting and allowing the dance to happen because he’s dressed down by his wife when she gives him that speech in the empty church, but if this were to happen today, he would never relent because people like that have no shame anymore and are so dug in that they would never admit they made a mistake
- What do you think about the actual dancing here?
- Kevin Bacon, movie star
- What this movie meant to Bacon’s career
- He was previously in Animal House, Friday the 13th, and Diner
- Supporting cast
- Have you ever seen the remake?
- Listener email: Brayden from Fort Worth, Texas writes: It seems all roads are leading to Madame Web being a critical and financial failure, which I think is unfortunate for many reasons, chief among them how it’ll affect S.J. Clarkson’s career. This is Clarkson’s second feature after 2010’s Toast, and I wonder if Madame Web will put her in the halls of “director jail.” [...] There’s a pattern in Hollywood: Cathy Yan directed Birds of Prey in 2020 to critical success but not financial, and has only directed an episode of Succession since. Patty Jenkins directed Wonder Woman 1984 in 2020 to mixed results critically and financially, although the pandemic was certainly a factor. Her announced movie Rogue Squadron seems less and less likely to happen. Chloe Zhao directed Eternals in 2021 to mixed results [...] Ultimately, my question is why does it seem like female blockbuster directors only get one shot, and if they miss, that’s it? I know Hollywood is a business and all that, but the discrepancy between male directors getting second chances seems way higher than female directors. I guess this isn’t breaking news, but more of the same, unfortunately. I think everyone deserves a second chance. Anyway, sorry for the long email. Love the pod and am wishing you and the /Film crew well.
The Guardian: How today’s female directors broke out of ‘movie jail’
Stylist: Why isn’t the director of Clueless a bigger Hollywood success story?
Progress? What progress? Inclusion in Hollywood is limited and lacking

On the December 28, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor Jacob Hall and editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about the 1993 action movie The Fugitive.
Opening Banter:
In Our Feature Presentation: An Appreciation of Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive
- General thoughts?
- Harrison Ford - where does this rank for you as a Ford movie?
- Tommy Lee Jones
- The Fugitive was nominated for Best Picture, but Jurassic Park was not.
- The Fugitive Was The Rare Action Movie To Get Nominated For Best Picture – And It Deserved It
Take a break
- Do you think of The Fugitive as an action movie?
- Original script: Twist revealed in which Gerard had hired the one-armed man to kill Kimble after Kimble had screwed up an operation on Gerard’s wife. Also a romantic subplot with Julianne Moore’s character, but they rightly took a step back and remembered Kimble is supposed to be in mourning for his wife, so they cut that part out.
- Are there any lessons modern Hollywood can take from The Fugitive, or was that such a different era that the parallels are meaningless?
- Thoughts on U.S. Marshals?
- The Fugitive Director Andrew Davis Reflects On Directing One Of The Best Films Of The 1990s [Exclusive Interview]

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 Marvels
- Quick 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 reactions
- Jacob
- BJ
- Ben
- Breakdown
- The 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 Bishop
- The mid-credits scene
- Monica 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 thoughts

Opening Banter:
In The News:
- Marvel's Blade Reboot Will Be Rated R, According To Its Director
- Any other R-rated properties you think Marvel should tackle? 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. Do you have any thoughts about that? (HP example)
- Marvel's Echo Trailer Teases The Origin Of Kingpin's Adopted Mercenary
- Echo Will Introduce New Marvel Spotlight Banner, For People Who Hate Doing MCU Homework
- Could the MCU ever evolve to a place where just the Avengers movies are interconnected?

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. So thank you all very much for listening, and I look forward to getting back in the groove with all of you.

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-AFTRA
Listener 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:

- Chris went on a haunted hayride.

Mailbag: Open Gate responses:
- Ralph on twitter: “On the latest SlashFilmDaily, you mentioned seeing the boom mics in a Young Guns movie. 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.”

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."

On the April 19, 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 24 “The Return”.
In The Spoiler Room: The Mandalorian Chapter 24 “The Return”.
- Feedback
- Quade from Canada writes in “After seeing Grogu interacting with so many various creatures this season. Is there any other examples of the Yoda species having a more nature oriented force connection?? Could this be why Yoda chose a swamp surrounded by flora and fauna to retire to?”
- Matthew from Toronto writes in “you and Bryan were talking about Captain Pellaeon trying to clarify where he was at the end of Rebels. In that last episode of Rebels, Captain Pellaeon is on a Star Destroyer that is part of the blockade out in space, while Grand Admiral Thrawn is on a different Star Destroyer directly in the atmosphere of Lothal above the Capital City. When the space whales aka the purrgil appear, Thrawn calls up Captain Pellaeon to get a report and he talks to him briefly before his radio gets cut off. When the purrgil take Grand Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer with Ezra out into hyperspace, Captain Pellaeon is not with them. So it doesn't say anything if Thrawn has returned from deep space or not.”

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”
- Feedback
- Heather 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?”

- The Super Mario Bros. Movie Breaks Video Game Movie Records With $195 Million Box Office Debut
- https://twitter.com/ryanscottwrites/status/1645220567467819008?s=61&t=-me0tBfTfdrDQenJIK7xRQ
- Mid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”
- The 'Star Wars' crawl is coming back, says Kathleen Kennedy
- "The crawl's coming back.” When asked by EW if the crawl would be returning only for the Rey film, Kennedy was equally direct. "No. The crawl is for movies."
- Star Wars Projects Like Rogue Squadron And Lando Aren't Dead Or Shelved, Says Kathleen Kennedy
- IGN: 'Rogue Squadron,' that definitely is something that we still talk about. "Whether it's a movie or whether it ends up being in the series space, that's definitely something."
- Lando: "I can just tell you it's still happening and [Donald Glover is] very excited about it."
- Kevin Feige's Star Wars Movie Never Really Got Off The Ground, But Kathleen Kennedy Is Open To Ideas
- "Kevin Feige's project was something announced in the press, or I guess, fandom, but there was, nothing ever got developed. We never discussed an idea, because as everybody knows, Kevin is a huge 'Star Wars' fan. And if, you know, he did come up with something, I would be all ears, but that's never really happened, so. [...] It's not an abandoned project, it just didn't happen."
- Lars Mikkelsen Confirmed As Grand Admiral Thrawn In Ahsoka
- Skeleton Crew Will Give Young Star Wars Fans A New Entry Point To The Franchise
- We're seeing the opportunity for fans to find where their entry point is. In Star Wars there's a lot of things now going back almost 50 years so it you don't want people to feel like they have see everything in order to step into Star Wars and we also want to look at the generational aspect of Star Wars, it's always been something that's been passed down so something like Skeleton Crew, we're really excited about because you know that's it's aimed at younger kids but will still bring in the fans, still bring in adults. But that's an opportunity for a kid that … can step into Star Wars and make it their own. And I think that's the beauty of the storytelling that's going on now is that everybody can kind of find where their entry point is.”

In The Spoiler Room: The Mandalorian Chapter 22 “Guns For Hire”
- Feedback
- Brian in Texas: “I’ve seen some speculation online that the remnants of the attached lambda shuttle found last week could be where Cara Dune met her ending in Star Wars Canon, thoughts?”
- Aaron writes in “One thing I did want to bring up was the issue of a particular pirate conspicuous in his absence. Hondo Ohnaka was one of my favorite animated Star Wars characters and it seems strange that in a Dave Filoni show in which we've now had 2 episodes in which pirates play a major role, the most obvious Filoni pirate character hasn't had a mention let alone an appearance. Would Bryan know of any reason why they would want to avoid using Hondo or any in-universe reason why his appearance wouldn't make sense?”

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”
- Feedback
- Manuel:
- 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.

- The move is "part of Peacock's growth strategy," which includes a shift to a $5 Premium membership that offers a larger catalog of content.
- Premium Plus tier for $10 comes offline downloading.

- Mid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”
- Peter (og Erin): Here's How Netflix Will Try To Keep You From Sharing The Password To Your Account
- mandating that each device with a specific login be connected to the same WiFi network at least once every month.
- This network will be considered the primary network for every account and profile, and those that do not connect through this network will be forced to sign up for an individual account.
- "When a device outside of your household signs in to an account or is used persistently," says the streamer's help center, "we may ask you to verify that device before it can be used to watch Netflix or switch your Netflix household."
- To verify a device: Netflix sends a link to the email address or phone number associated with the primary account owner, The link opens a page with a 4-digit verification code. 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-ups
- three 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 based

In The News:

- What does this mean?
- Have we seen the last of The Rock as Black Adam?
- Could he possibly return later?
- Valerie: Zachary Levi Suggests There Are No Plans To Recast Shazam In The New DC Universe
- (og Jeremy): James Gunn Addresses The Current State Of DC, Knows It's Pretty Rough Out There Right Now
- What Gunn tweeted:
- One of the things Peter & I were aware of when we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least.
- Our choices for the DCU are based upon what we believe is best for the story & best for the DC characters who have been around for nearly 85 years. 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. The only studio interference would be from us!"
- (og Devin): Plans For Elseworlds DC Projects Are 'Actively Happening' According To James Gunn
- Someone on twitter asked if he was open to producing any Elseworlds DC projects that aren’t set in the DCU, to which James Gunn responded “That is actively happening.”
- Should they be doing movies outside of the connected universe?
- Is he talking about Matt Reeves’ The Batman movie and The Joker sequel? Or is he talking about actual elseworlds adaptations?
- What DC Elseworlds story would you like to see as a live action movie?
- Peter would love to see Red Son or Superman: Secret Identity (not really an elseworlds story)
- Other possibilities: Gotham by Gaslight, Kingdom Come, The Golden Age

- Quaritch has a son
- Who is his mother?
- Spider mentions he was too young to go into cryo back to earth after the events of the original avatar. So this means he would have also been too young to go into cryo from earth to pandora. So that must mean he was conceived and born on Pandora. Could his mother appear in sequels?

- Whats going on on Earth
- In the first film Jake says there is no green left on Earth
- In this movie General Ardmore says that the Earth is dying and they are now planning to colonize and relocate to Pandora

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 Universe
- Gunn’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 Forward
- Patty Jenkins' Departure From Wonder Woman 3 Sounds Rather Thorny
- The 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.
- Patty Jenkins' Departure From Wonder Woman 3 Sounds Rather Thorny
- Henry Cavill is not likely to return for his own "Superman" movie
- Appearance in Black Adam, announcing Superman is back and Cavill leaving Witcher after season 3
- Black Adam is not getting any sequels
- weird 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 movie
- Eric 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

On the December 7, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by no one to answer some Indiana Jones emails in the Mailbag and discuss the latest film and TV news, which all circles around Avatar: The Way of Water.
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.”

It’s actually a Joe Colombo “Boby” rolling office organizer. I figured this audience might appreciate it. Here’s a link where you can purchase your very own.

In The Spoiler Room: Andor episode 11 “Daughter of Ferrix"
- Feedback
- Rene in Houston TX writes in “We see Cassian in prison 5 years before Rogue One, but in Rogue One Cassian tells Chirrut that this is the first time he’s been in prison (while in Saw’s cage when they take Jyn to see Saw). Surely this was intentional…but I can’t figure out the story here, appreciate your thoughts.”
- Mike in Wokingham, UK: “We all agree that ANDOR has been incredible - but what could they do that would ruin it all in the last episode? Maybe Cassian is about to die and is rescued by Baby Yoda. Or it turns out that B2EMO was an Imperial spy all along. Or (of course) Dedra is Cassian’s long lost sister and they run off together. What do you think? What would be the worst way to wrap up the season?”

In The Spoiler Room: Andor episode 8 titled “Narkina”
- Feedback
- Nathan writes in “You mention how weird it is to hear people mentioning Palpatine because he should be this figure who is so high up that no one should be talking to. 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. (The actress, Denise Gough, is only a couple months younger than Diego Luna, but it could work.”

On the October 25, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor Hoai-Tran Bui to gather around the virtual water cooler and talk about what they’ve been up to.
Opening Banter:
At The Water Cooler:
- What we’ve been Doing:
- Ben visited Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience.
- What we’ve been Reading:
- HT has picked up Tales from Earthsea again.

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?”
- Feedback
- Nathan 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.

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?”
- Feedback
- Nathan 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.

On the October 3, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Erin Brady to discuss the latest film and tv news, including a Figment movie, More Jurassic World films, Armor Wars, Deadpool 3, and Now You See Me 3.
Opening Banter:
- Erin tell us about yourself?
- We’re back! The schedule should return to normal: Ben is back from his huge trip, Ryan is back from Fantastic Fest, and Peter is back from EPCOT’s 40th!
- Donate to the Florida Disaster fund
In The News:
- Erin: Disney Epcot Mascot Figment Is Getting A Movie From Seth Rogen And Detective Pikachu Writers
- Who is Figment, and why is he beloved?
- 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 Come
- Trevorrow 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 Cheadle
- Same writer
- Actors didn't even know?
- How do you think this will change this project?
- When can we now expect it?
- Erin: Deadpool 3 Will See The Return Of Hugh Jackman As Wolverine
- We had heard there was a road trip movie in the works with Deadpool and Wolverine but then Disney bought Fox and those plans got shelved
- We knew Disney was still interested in making a third Deadpool film and it would be set in the mcu
- Ryan posted a video on twitter, tell us about it?
- 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 3
- Fleischer 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?
- Ruben’s filmography
- What could get you excited to see Now You See Me 3? Tom Cruise it!

- Andor Early Buzz: Unlike Any Star Wars Story We've Seen Before — In A Great Way
- Peter (og Jeremy): Disney Officially Removes Patty Jenkins' Star Wars: Rogue Squadron From Its Release Schedule
- Brad (og Ernesto): Why Avatar Director James Cameron Believes 3D Is 'Not Over'
- "I would say that the 3D was generally embraced for a period of time. '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."

- Feedback
- Francisco writes in “when she hulk heard about taking the half elf’s power that gave her the idea of having Emil wear a power dampener in the next scene.”
- Bob from Nashville writes in “During the discussion of episode 3, you were mentioning the comedic reveal of the show title each week and having not seen that before.I can think of a few shows that have done this… Saturday Night Live for example.But She-Hulk mostly reminds me of a sitcom from the 60s called “That Girl" staring Marlo Thomas. Each week a cold open would present the situation which would lead to a punch zoom on Marlo Thomas’ face with the show logo superimposed on top. Like… “Did you make this mess? No it wasn’t me, it was... (punch zoom to Marlo Thomas) THAT GIRL”.

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”
- Feedback
- Matthew 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.”

On the August 17, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta will discuss the latest film and tv news, including a Big Thunder Mountain movie, another Saw film, and in the mail bag we’ll answer a question about how AMC A-List contributes to the Box Office.
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”

- Canceling Batgirl but releasing The Flash
- THR: DC Films’ Walter Hamada Was on the Brink of Exit After ‘Batgirl’ Cancellation: “Hamada was upset at not being consulted and concerned about the impact on those involved in making the film.” “Hamada has now agreed to remain in his post at least until the Oct. 21 release of the Dwayne Johnson film Black Adam, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. “He’s pausing,” says a source. “The decision has not been made to make this adversarial, yet.”
- Hamada came on board during the JL fiasco. He forged relationships with James Gunn and Todd Philips and made a push into a less connected DC universe. Some of that was successful financially, others not as much.

- Avatar: The Way of Water comes out later this year
- Avatar 3 for Christmas 2023
- Avatar 4 for Christmas 2026
- Avatar 5 Christmas 2028
- "The Avatar films themselves are kind of all-consuming. I've got some other things I'm developing as well that are exciting. I think eventually over time — I don't know if that's after three or after four — I'll want to pass the baton to a director that I trust to take over, so I can go do some other stuff that I'm also interested in. Or maybe not. I don't know."
- "I got more excited as I went along. Movie four is a corker. It's a mother****er. I actually hope I get to make it. But it depends on market forces. Three is in the can so it's coming out regardless. I really hope that we get to make four and five because it's one big story, ultimately."
- Valerie: Even James Cameron Has Doubts About Avatar: The Way Of Water's Box Office Potential
- "We've gotten into a little bit of an outer orbit and we've got to re-establish ourselves," Cameron admits. "The trolls will have it that nobody gives a s and they can't remember the characters' names or one damn thing that happened in the movie ... Then they see the movie again and go, 'Oh okay, excuse me, let me just shut the f up right now.' So I'm not worried about that."
- Avatar 1 made $2.83 billon
- Avatar: The Way of Water has a $250 million budget (after marketing $400-450m)

It’s a low socio economic area so it’s still running but I’m pretty sure it’s the only one in Brisbane if not Australia. We went about 3 years ago and it is not like when you where a kid lol.

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. Right?”

In The Spoiler Room: Ms. Marvel Episode 2 “Crushed”
- Feedback
- Anil From Thailand writes in: “When Kamala gets her power she flashes back to what I believe to be her greatgrandma's last memory while she was wearing the Bangle. 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. “

In The Spoiler Room: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 5
- Feedback
- Peter 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’.”

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
- Feedback
- Pat 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."

- From Vanity Fair: The 2018 movie Solo explored Han Solo’s younger years, with Alden Ehrenreich taking on the role of the smuggler originated by Harrison Ford. The film has its admirers, but it made less at the box office than any other live-action Star Wars movie. Solo’s swagger may be too singular for another actor to replicate. “There should be moments along the way when you learn things,” says Kennedy. “Now it does seem so abundantly clear that we can’t do that.”

- uh · fay · zhee · uh
- LA Times Article
- In 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. Eads was now credited as producer for upwards of $200,000 a film

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 Idea
- Is 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 Employees
- A 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 Bill
- Late 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.

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

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.

- 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 Summer
- The 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”
- Feedback
- Danielle: 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. What a lovely surprise!”

I don't know how the process was for you because ['Morbius' is] a feature film, we're a limited series. There was a lot of room to try stuff because there wasn't the pressure that we got to make sure we make however many hundreds of millions of dollars on the opening weekend.

In The Spoiler Room: The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 5 “The Return of The Mandalorian”
- Feedback
- Dean points out that There might not have been a bantha death in that last episode but there was a bantha skeleton
- Tim writes in “did it seem to you that the way Boba got revenge on the biker gang (killing them all while they were virtually defenseless) added some gray to his morality and took a step back from the notion that he’s now just a “good guy?””
- Tyler from Seattle writes in: Why did Boba think that his armor was in the sarlacc pit when he knows that he climbed out of the pit wearing it. In fact it help him escape the pit in the first place. Unless he thinks the armor came off him and back into the pit? I know that he doesn’t know that the Jawas took it but it makes no sense why he would think it was in the pit.

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 Sequel
- What are these games?
- Who’s involved?
- Peter (og Jeremy): A New Film Studio Is Being Built In Actual Space
- Space 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 Destruction
- According 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 Ralphie
- This 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?

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”
- Feedback
- Matthew 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”
-
Feedback
- The 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 Office
- Top 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 Battle
- In 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 Guests
- screenwriters 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 Spell
- In 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!'"

- In 2001, 413 movies were released, in the subsequent years it picked up to nearly 1000 movies

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”
- Feedback
- Manuel 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
- Breakdown
- Opens in 2007 with young Maya in a classroom
- Fills 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
- Opens in 2007 with young Maya in a classroom
-
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?

- “They’re starting to come through and I can’t stop them!”
- Brad: Spider-Man: No Way Home's Script Was Constantly Being Rewritten During Filming
- From GQ: The production of No Way Home sounds like total chaos. 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.”

- Michael O from Nashville TN writes in “Hey Peter! Big fan of the podcast. I was kinda shocked yesterday that you guys didn’t cover what I thought to be the biggest story coming out of the Eternals premiere. And no, I’m not talking about the spoiler, but I’m talking about the ones who spoiled! I couldn’t believe that some reporters were openly talking about the events of the post credits scene. Is this… allowed? Based on your lack of comment, I have to assume there’s either some journalistic loyalty or maybe this is more normal than I would expect. Will there be consequences for the spoilers? Doesn’t that hurt his job? Or am I over blowing everything!! I don’t know what to think but I’m still frustrated and I’m hoping you guys can break this down for me.”

Watchmen comic backstory She has a complicated relationship with masks, as seen through her relationships with Mr. Shadow (“he’s not a hero...he’s a fucking joke”) & Petey
Is Keene behind this whole thing? Presidential hopeful. Crime is down 80% in Tulsa, other cities want to adopt the Defense of Police Act. Is he orchestrating these events to draw attention to him and his policies? Implies that he could get Nite Owl out of jail
Introduction of Petey FBI Deputy Director seems resistant to Petey’s ideas to dive into the psychology of Rorschach - is there something else going on there? Millennium Clock - who is Lady Trieu? On the plane with Laurie, Petey says the word “fan” with real contempt Laurie interrogates Looking Glass, who reveals that Judd’s funeral is in a couple of hours Seventh Kavalry suicide bomber interrupts the funeral.

What is his endgame? Designs for a catapult/trebuchet, but Mr. Phillips has a rope attached to him Who is the game warden? What is the dynamic at play here? Is he in Argentina with plastic surgery?
Car crashes down (ties in with her joke) - is Doctor Manhattan involved somehow? Does he care more than Laurie thinks? Tidbits: They’re staying at the Black Freighter Inn.
