This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discuss the asinine new approach by the studios of creating super fan focus groups in an attempt to avoid negative discourse. We also talk about Joker: Folie à Deux‘s box office and the trailer for Juror #2 trailer.

– DDL / Box Office (0:30)
We open the show this week by briefly talking about Daniel Day-Lewis’ surprise return to film as his son is making a new movie, and of course he didn’t tell anyone about it. We then turn our attention to our weekly segment “Is the Parade On or Off?” talking about the box office. This time we specifically get into the receipts for Joker: Folie à Deux and its surprising lackluster results.

– Juror #2 Trailer (41:39)
In what is one of the biggest surprises of the fall season so far, the trailer for Juror #2 looks really promising. Clint Eastwood’s directorial efforts the last decade or so hasn’t been very good, so we didn’t have this film too high on our most anticipated list. So it was really fun to see how great it looks, possibly even being his best films since 2006.

– AI / Studios’ Super Fan Focus Groups (56:35)
We wanted to dedicate a significant chunk of time this week talking about how the wild teetering in cinematic landscape right now and how that’s influencing the discourse. Specifically, the use of AI once again reared its ugly head with a terrible “trailer” for Princess Mononoke that got everyone riled up. Then came the news that the major studios are going to use “super fan” focus groups to avoid toxic pushback. It’s an anti-filmmaking idea that will only bring more polarization. Which is to say, we had a lot to talk about.
