– JD’s Gloating (2:10)
We apologize in advance for those who don’t follow or care about sports, however JD wanted to spend a few minutes at the top of the show to talk about his Michigan Wolverines and their most recent success. For what it’s worth, however, the narrative around the Wolverines this season has been very cinematic.
– Napoleon / Wish (21:15)
As noted above, it was quite a surprise to see Ridley Scott’s Napoleon take the box office this last weekend over an animated film from Disney. Perhaps it’s indicative of everything we’ve seen this year regarding IP and their struggles, and the remarkable success of more original or director-driven films as we saw with Barbenheimer earlier in the year. Either way, it’s really fascinating and it continues to echo a changing of the tide.
– Edgar Wright (35:47)
Very recently there was an interview with Edgar Wright who noted that IP and bigger franchises would benefit from taking breaks and letting audiences build anticipation. We talk about why he’s absolutely right, not just for building hype, but also allowing VFX artists more time to render visuals that are more sharp.
– Ridley Scott Discussion (1:11:28)
Ridley Scott is a captivating filmmaker for many reasons. He’s an astute craftsman. He’s an eclectic artist. He’s willing to tinker with his films long after he’s sent in the theatrical cut. He doesn’t care what you think. There are very few like him, and it makes for a really fun conversation when talking about the good and bad that comes with his filmmaking style.
