– Box Office Isn’t Dead Yet (2:00)
We open the show once again with a discussion around the box office as Bad Boys: Ride or Die performed wonderfully over the weekend. There may have been panic given how things played out last month, but the theaters aren’t dead yet. Bad Boys did well and Inside Out 2 is poised to continue that momentum.
– Oscar Stunts / Beatles Casting (12:56)
In the next segment, we talk about how the Academy is openly having conversations with the stunt community about creating a new category for stunts. We’re still a ways away, but there is movement in the right direction. We also talk about the Beatles casting rumor even if it does come from a dubious source. It will likely change, but we thought it would be fun to indulge and talk about why the rumored cast would be fun.
– New Trailer for Alien: Romulus (34:08)
While we didn’t anticipate it, we ended up having a pretty lengthy debate over the new trailer for Alien: Romulus. The film looks well crafted and it’s clearly taking the franchise back to basics, but is that enough for fans of the franchise? We talk about that and argue over the film’s marketing tactics.
– Best Picture Movie Series: The Best Years of Our Lives (53:03)
We continue our Best Picture Movie Series in the 1940s with William Wyler’s 1946 Oscar-winning film The Best Years of Our Lives! After detouring away from the War with Going My Way and The Lost Weekend, the Academy once again awarded a film that spoke to the people, this time aiming at the heart of a post-war America. With the urgency of Mrs. Miniver and the need to enter the war with Casablanca, it just made sense to bring closure to the War with a film about the soldiers coming home and the challenges they faced.
