– Box Office (2:09)
We begin this week’s show with our ongoing “Is the parade on or off?” segment talking about the recent box office results. For all of the “marketing” for Speak No Evil, it was quite hilarious to see that it only garnered $11 million.
– James Earl Jones (20:05)
Last week, we sadly lost the legendary James Earl Jones at the age of 93. He was simply one of the best and you cannot tell the story of cinema without his iconic vocal work. His performances in Star Wars and The Lion King are all-timers, but we can’t forget other films like The Great White Hope, Dr. Strangelove, Field of Dreams, The Sandlot and many others.
– Harry Potter Reboot (42:39)
The new Harry Potter series for Max is going to be a challenging event for many reasons. J.K. Rowling has not endeared herself to many since going political, and that alone will keep some fans away (understandably). Additionally, because of the deep divisiveness in fandoms these days, the poor kids who are cast are going to be in the line of fire. And then there’s the actual adaptation/artistry aspect of it, which is equally fascinating given the density of the books and how this could be quite different from the book. That element of it is admittedly very compelling. We talk about all of that and more.
– Spider-Man 4 / The Life of Chuck (42:39)
We end the show this week by talking about Spider-Man 4 bringing in Destin Daniel Cretton to direct and how that impact the MCU. While we’ve been told that we’re going to see Spider-Man going back to the streets, with Cretton coming on board, one wonders how true that might be. The Life of Chuck winning at TIFF is also very interesting given the history of The People’s Choice Award and how that often leads to a Best Picture nomination, but at this moment the film has no distribution.
