On today's episode of News, we're talking about rowdy minecraft
movie audiences. We're talking about the con Film Festival. We're
talking about MCU leeks. We're talking about a new category
for the Oscars.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All that and more.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, my name is Jason Concepcion.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And I'm Merseay Night a new Sabrina coffe and on
fortnite and.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Welcome back to next ra vision of the podcast where
we dive deep dear Ribord shows, movies, comics and pop culture.
Coming to you from My Heart podcast where we're bringing
you three episodes a week every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday plus.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
News, which is this episode. And in today's previously on episode,
we are newsing it up.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
No no, no, no no news. No no no, no, no no
no news.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We're catching up on the biggest geeky news of the
week in lineup announced for the can Film Festival, which
is big for me and Jason with cinephiles. We like
the kind of stuff's right and also.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's cinema.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And if you do not enjoy leaks, then we will
give you a heads up. But that is a leak
from the London set of Avengers Doomsday, a photograph that
seems to be confirming some things that we thought might happen.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yes, first up, Minecraft movie audiences, y'all need to calm down,
because apparently the crowds are so rowdy with people throwing
popcorn and yelling things and being wild that theaters have
(01:46):
had to now issue warnings that telling telling the youngsters
to calm down. The Minecraft massive, massive hit. That's even
outstripping the early pace of the Nintendo movie when I
was at least last year or so.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
This is a hit. This is a huge hit, like
a game changing hit, biggest opening for a video game
movie of all time. It is going to head into
its second weekend that is right now if you are
listening to this, and it will cross two hundred million
dollars domestically and three hundred and fifty million dollars globally.
So yes, I gotta say. Look, and it's gonna be
the highest grossing US release of the year so far.
(02:26):
It's going to be interesting to see where this goes. Look,
I gotta be honest, Okay, I did work in a cinema,
and I do think that cinema workers are underloved and
undervalued and that they should not have to be cleaning
this mess up. But saying that, saying that all you
adults who are out here like, oh my god, this
is ruining my cinematic experience. You aren't going to watch
(02:47):
the Minecraft movie.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I've seen it twice. You were not going there.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You don't know what a chicken jockey is. These children
have been locked in their houses for four years.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Because of a pandemic. They didn't go to high school.
They're always on the internet.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Say you want them to go back to theaters to
support cinema, and you know what.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Now they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It is well, as common said, it's basically like a
Rocky horror picture show screening.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'm gonna push back lightly on that. That's fine as
a person who used to go to those Rocky horrors
quite a bit. The thing about the Rocky horror dynamic
was it really only came about years and years after
the movie had been in the judging like multiple year,
(03:30):
like a decade to a decade before had emerged. You
go there, You go there with the idea that we're
gonna get our little squirt guns out, We're gonna have
the umbrellas when you fucking throwing rice at that, everybody
understands that this is a first run movie, so that's different.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yes, that's true.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That said, I do agree with you that, come on,
that's fucking minecraft.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's not Oppenheimer.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You know, this is a good it is a good
problem to have people are coming to the theaters. But
I will say that zooming out. This is part of
the challenge of live you know, of in person cinemas
right now, is how do you create an experience that
is enough like being at home and having that ability
(04:20):
to just lock in on what you're seeing, while also
capturing the energy. Because I think that that is the
balance that these theater theater owners are trying to strike
with the better seats and the better and the better
you know environment, and the and the more stringent rules
about being quiet because getting people out of their homes
(04:41):
is difficult now and everybody wants a different experience.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I think something, and I think this is the point.
Right If you'll go into an AMC and you're going
to see this and at five dollars on Tuesday, you're
going to get some rowdy kids. You know what I
have come to accept as somebody who loves the cinematic experience,
I'm going to see somebody on that phone and it
stresses me out. That's part of the reason why I
like to sit in front of the screen because nobody
(05:05):
can put their phone on in front of me. But
you know what, that's the era we're living in now.
But what I think that you touched on that is happening.
And I actually, you know, before Mike's were I was
talking about this, Like, the Alamo Draft House sent out
an email and they said, hey, if you want to
come and see the Minecraft movie, no interruptions, come see
it with us mart And it's true because at the
(05:27):
Alamo draft House sometimes me and Joel won't even go
there because you can't even be having a little laugh.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
If you laugh too loud, you might piss someone off.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But if I'm going to see the nineteen fifty four
classic Godzilla, then I'll go and see it at the
Alamo draft House because I want to be able to
immerse myself in the beautiful black and white cinematography, the
emotional heft of the movie.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Now, I will also say my biggest.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Issue with people who are trying to on the most part,
not like my sweet friend Mark, who's very thoughtful about
this stuff, who we talk deeply about the workers at
the cinemas, but a lot of like adults are like, oh,
you know, it's not yeah, the cinema workers have to
clean it up. It's ruining it for everyone.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I go to the AMC so often. I am a
huge proponent of going to the movie theater. And guess what,
every time I go to a main like chain cinema
like the AMC, you adult motherfuckers in whatever movie theater
are trashing that screen. And if you want to complain
about these kids trashing that screen, you start cleaning up
after yourself. Because I end up cleaning up after the
(06:24):
movie theaters because I'm so shocked by how you would
just leave a popcorn on the floor. So, if you
want to learn one thing from this, and you want
to be better than the kids, the Minecraft kids who
are basically just the new gentle Minions kid. If you
didn't know about that, google it because that was hilarious.
But then you can start by actually helping yourself and
helping the people there by cleaning up after yourself, because
(06:46):
none of you do that when you go to ama AMC.
And if you want to go, like Jason said, and
you don't want to see a phone and you don't
want to hear a kid talking, and you want to
watch a beautiful o Zoo movie like good Morning, go
and support a rep theater because those are amazing and.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You can do it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I think it's about different experiences for different people. My nephew,
he only goes and see movie in forty X.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I don't need that. I don't want to be punched
in the back. I went to see.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Smells Sprayed into my now stral.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I don't want cinema water in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But for him, an eleven year old, that's his dream experience.
Different experiences for different people. And right now, as Jared
has said, this is a party for kids and they're
loving it. If you don't want to go, go see
it at the Alamo Draft House, or go see it
at like nine in the morning when no kids are there.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
That's right up next. Con Who Film Festival lineup has
been announced, with new films by Wes Anderson, Spike Lee,
Richard Link Latter ari Astor premiering. The lineup for the
seventy eighth con Film Festival has some bangers in it,
so Wes Anderson's new film The Phoenician scheme is debuting
(07:53):
there Richard link Letter's Nouvelle Vague ari Astors Eddington, and
it's Spike.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Lee with I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Let me just say this.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I know some people who have seen screenings of Spike
Lee and Denzel Washington's adaptation of Akira Currosaw was nineteen
sixty three.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Bang Your Bang Your Crime.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Masterpiece High and Low, and I was like, I'm worried
because the last time Spike Lee adapted a movie, Old Boy,
it made me want to forget that. I even knew
both versions of the movie existed, and apparently they said, no,
Spike is in his wheelhouse with High and Low, so
get excited for that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm very excited about this too because something I learned
from going to the Academy Museum, and they have this
room where directors will put all of their intions and
basically just show off that cool stuff. And the first
one was Spike Lee. He had Prince's guitar. But I
learned that Akira Crosau was a huge Spike Lee fan,
and the two of them got to me and he
had signed posters from Akira Crosawa. So I love the
(08:57):
idea that he knows what he's doing with this one.
He knows the creator, he knows the movie well. And
I love Denzel Washington. I'm very excited for this one.
I think you love Yeah. High and Low's one of
the most incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Recursive I think if you only know Crusola for the
kind of samurai move, watch High and Low. It's it's amazing.
And there's a sequence involving a train that is just
like it is sinema.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Pure cinema cinema.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Also, I will say, in the.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Non competition type movies, we'll also get Mission Impossible there
the final reckoning that's gonna be its big debut. I'm
sure Tom Cruise will probably do some kind of crazy
parachuting onto the beautiful beaches of southern France. Yeah, I
can invite me and Jason will come. We'll go, We'll
go to the south of France.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'm in it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
By the way, Spike's Old Boy. It's the only Spike
movie that wasn't stamped a Spike Lee joint. He knew
the stand he was, he knew that he he knew
that he fumbled it up. Next, Avengers Doomsday set leak
here it is folks.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Leak if you don't like the leak, if you want
to go and blind, okay, but here's the leak.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Here's the leak, so leaked images from the London set
of Avengers Doomsday. Folks, here it is.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's the right. Why this movie so soon? What's going on?
What's going on with that? There are a bunch of
other movies that's supposed to come out.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
West Blade shows uh, the exterior of everybody's favorite Westchester
prep school and Xavier School Forgifted Youngsters after what appears
to be a battle taking place around the x Mansion.
And of course we understand that in this in this
(10:50):
film because of the the chair reveal from a few
weeks ago that there's gonna be multiple ex actors in this,
including Allen Cumming, Rebecca Romain, Patrick, Stuart Dy McKellen, and
so on. It begs the question, is this gonna be
Avengers versus x Men? I sense no. But one thing
I am sure is gonna happen, and I'm kind of
bummed about, is that we are now. I think this
(11:14):
could very possibly Avengers Doomsday represent the Fifth Fifth. It's
either fourth or five.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I think it's fifth. Let this man just die, guys.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Les screen of death from Charles Exavior, Guys, can we
let Charles live? What? Man?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I have my issues with.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Charles, but no, it's too many man. Also like let
Patrick stewartt like, is he gonna be in the movie
or is he just here to die? I don't know
either way given miss check. But I will say this
makes a lot of sense. Probably goes along with what
we thought, which is that a lot of the X
Men will die early, kind of like X Men first Class,
and then that will likely lead to whatever happens in Doomsday. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean it's hilarious because the.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Set photos look like the X Mansion lego that I'm
currently building, which has a big battle outside it. So
I'm like, great corporate synergy, guys. But yeah, I didn't
know they were filming this movie already. That that's speeding
through it. Man, So we're probably gonna see this. This
one might actually get made.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uh, We're gonna take a short break and we'll be
back with Oscar.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And we're back, folks.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We've been saying it for a long time. We've been
asking for it, asking for it. Rosie has been out
here banging this drum, I have happened. Your Film Academy
will now offer the Stunt Design Award for one hundred
years of the Academy Awards from the From an article
on the Hollywood Reporter quote, the push within the Academy
(12:57):
for a stunt design Oscar was led by stunt performer
turned director producer David Leach, who not coincidentally helmed the
stunt centric twenty twenty four film.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
The Fall Guys.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So this is this is great. We've been asking for
this for a while and it's here, and honestly.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
This is actually I think the way that they posed
this in Hollywood Porter is very interesting because they said
not coincidentally and honestly, like The Fall Guy, me and
Jason have both said, go watch. It's actually really fun movie.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
It's fun. They didn't do a great.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Job with the promo. But I think all of that
is irrelevant because I do think the point of the
movie was to make them make a stunt oscar. That
is what the investment was.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It They broke.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
A world record on barrel rolling a car in that movie.
They did so many incredible stunts. They had Winston Duke
playing a brilliant stunt coordinator, They had Ryan Goslink who
did some really incredible stunts. They had Emily Blunt doing
great fight work, and then you had a ray of
incredible stunt design Chris including Chris O'Hara who is from
(13:55):
Stunts Unlimited. And then they had Emily Blunt and Ryan
Gosling basically do a proto presentation of what a Stunt
Design Award would look like. So I think this was
always the purpose of the movie. I think it's a
fun movie. Leach is literally like one of the most
influential filmmakers from John Wick to Deadpool two. You know,
(14:16):
this is a guy who has changed to it. It's
looking shouldn't have been this long, especially when you think
about someone like Buster Keaton working one hundred years ago
who was doing dar Robinson's like people who were establishing
this work. But it's a huge moment and I think
that it's really interesting. It will be the twenty twenty
seven oscars so movies that release in twenty twenty six,
(14:37):
and I'm very excited because I think this will give
a little push to any movies that are being made
right now to make sure that they include some really
fantastic stunt work, because you know winning an Oscar, as
me and Jason have talked about many times. It's up
there on one of the highest awards, hardest awards to win.
Like there are ways you you know, you can be
(14:59):
Tai Kaway, Tit sleep, you know, nominated for implement Short Film.
It can happen, but you're still gotta make a short film.
You're still got to do it. Stunts is going to
be a way for action movies and Hollywood movies that
often do not get a look in at the Oscars
to really showcase the incredible work that happens.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I think they should open this award by giving some
great stunt performance. I think Dar Robinson is the one.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
But yes, Dar Robinson like the honorary.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yes, and I think they should give him a lifetime
achievement posthumously. He passed away doing a stunt.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But if.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I think they should honor some stunt person, like for me,
it would be dark just because of the amount of
stunts that he created that are now part of the lexico.
Like if you've ever seen a person fall attached to
a cable around their leg and the cable like stops them,
decelerates them as they're falling. Yeah, that's Dar Robinson invented
(15:59):
that gas and it's in so many things.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We have, even the Fall. They do this at the
end of four Guy as an homage where he does
the freefroll from the helicopter, but he did it three
hundred and eleven feet.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
That's a world record.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
He was a stunt double for Christopher Plumber, for Steve McQueen,
for Clint Eastwood. Like that is a man. I think
you're absolutely right. I'm like, you could give a few out.
I'd like to see a little you know, looking at
the stunt design of the classic silent cinema and I
think it is long overdue and I'm very excited to
see if this will bring some of the older action
(16:34):
stars out of retirement or you know, someone like a
Jean claud van Dam. That man's just making straight to
VOD movies that most of them are like. He just
he's like he's like taking He's like out there, he's
like taking down some generic gangsters. But that man is
a legend, Like bring him back, bring Onnold to Watchenegger back.
They're not going to be doing their own stunts, but
(16:54):
you could build a fantastic stunt movie around them with
the notion that potentially you could be an Oscar contention.
So yes, I'm very excited.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Thank you to everyone who worked for this. I think
Vulture as well and New York Magnazine needs a shout
out because they essentially created an award for stump people
because the Oscars didn't. So that was definitely laying a trail.
And yeah, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And finally, in most saving the.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Best Fortnite Festival is kicking off this week and the
season eight pass comes with you know, a Fortnite implemented
this kind of jam system where uh you know, you
could uh enter like emote music mode with a bunch
of different people and like DJ and have like one
person be the drummer and one person be the DJ
(17:43):
and one person be the vocalist. You can do that
with Sabrina Carpenter. Now she enters the game alongside the
likes of Travis Scott, the likes of Galactus God, likes
of Batman to be immortalized in the ip zoo.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
That is sweetwnight.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
What There's been some fantastic memes already.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I was sending I was sending Jason Lees yesterday like
every time I saw it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
That one.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
My favorite one is the very famous part of Sabrina
Carpenter's shows where she does the Juno pos where she
kind of does some kind of sexual situation.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
But in this.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Version when she gets to that line and the show,
she just snipes someone in the head.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And I was like yes.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And then my favorite thing the super producer calm And
pointed out to me is like the Sabrina Carpenter girls
like won't fight each other, so like when they see
each other, they're like teaming up.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They're like, hey, it's me Sabrina.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well they'll start they'll start like they'll start like emoting
do it. And there's somebody who's not a Sabrina comes
into the group.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They just killed that and continue going.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They said, let me dance to Espresso.
Speaker 2 (18:54):

is difficult now and everybody wants a different experience.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I think something, and I think this is the point.
Right If you'll go into an AMC and you're going
to see this and at five dollars on Tuesday, you're
going to get some rowdy kids. You know what I
have come to accept as somebody who loves the cinematic experience,
I'm going to see somebody on that phone and it
stresses me out. That's part of the reason why I
like to sit in front of the screen because nobody
(05:05):
can put their phone on in front of me. But
you know what, that's the era we're living in now.
But what I think that you touched on that is happening.
And I actually, you know, before Mike's were I was
talking about this, Like, the Alamo Draft House sent out
an email and they said, hey, if you want to
come and see the Minecraft movie, no interruptions, come see
it with us mart And it's true because at the
(05:27):
Alamo draft House sometimes me and Joel won't even go
there because you can't even be having a little laugh.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
If you laugh too loud, you might piss someone off.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But if I'm going to see the nineteen fifty four
classic Godzilla, then I'll go and see it at the
Alamo draft House because I want to be able to
immerse myself in the beautiful black and white cinematography, the
emotional heft of the movie.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Now, I will also say my biggest.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Issue with people who are trying to on the most part,
not like my sweet friend Mark, who's very thoughtful about
this stuff, who we talk deeply about the workers at
the cinemas, but a lot of like adults are like, oh,
you know, it's not yeah, the cinema workers have to
clean it up. It's ruining it for everyone.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I go to the AMC so often. I am a
huge proponent of going to the movie theater. And guess what,
every time I go to a main like chain cinema
like the AMC, you adult motherfuckers in whatever movie theater
are trashing that screen. And if you want to complain
about these kids trashing that screen, you start cleaning up
after yourself. Because I end up cleaning up after the
(06:24):
movie theaters because I'm so shocked by how you would
just leave a popcorn on the floor. So, if you
want to learn one thing from this, and you want
to be better than the kids, the Minecraft kids who
are basically just the new gentle Minions kid. If you
didn't know about that, google it because that was hilarious.
But then you can start by actually helping yourself and
helping the people there by cleaning up after yourself, because
(06:46):
none of you do that when you go to ama AMC.
And if you want to go, like Jason said, and
you don't want to see a phone and you don't
want to hear a kid talking, and you want to
watch a beautiful o Zoo movie like good Morning, go
and support a rep theater because those are amazing and.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You can do it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I think it's about different experiences for different people. My nephew,
he only goes and see movie in forty X.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I don't need that. I don't want to be punched
in the back. I went to see.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Smells Sprayed into my now stral.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I don't want cinema water in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But for him, an eleven year old, that's his dream experience.
Different experiences for different people. And right now, as Jared
has said, this is a party for kids and they're
loving it. If you don't want to go, go see
it at the Alamo Draft House, or go see it
at like nine in the morning when no kids are there.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
That's right up next. Con Who Film Festival lineup has
been announced, with new films by Wes Anderson, Spike Lee,
Richard Link Latter ari Astor premiering. The lineup for the
seventy eighth con Film Festival has some bangers in it,
so Wes Anderson's new film The Phoenician scheme is debuting
(07:53):
there Richard link Letter's Nouvelle Vague ari Astors Eddington, and
it's Spike.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Lee with I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Let me just say this.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I know some people who have seen screenings of Spike
Lee and Denzel Washington's adaptation of Akira Currosaw was nineteen
sixty three.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Bang Your Bang Your Crime.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Masterpiece High and Low, and I was like, I'm worried
because the last time Spike Lee adapted a movie, Old Boy,
it made me want to forget that. I even knew
both versions of the movie existed, and apparently they said, no,
Spike is in his wheelhouse with High and Low, so
get excited for that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm very excited about this too because something I learned
from going to the Academy Museum, and they have this
room where directors will put all of their intions and
basically just show off that cool stuff. And the first
one was Spike Lee. He had Prince's guitar. But I
learned that Akira Crosau was a huge Spike Lee fan,
and the two of them got to me and he
had signed posters from Akira Crosawa. So I love the
(08:57):
idea that he knows what he's doing with this one.
He knows the creator, he knows the movie well. And
I love Denzel Washington. I'm very excited for this one.
I think you love Yeah. High and Low's one of
the most incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Recursive I think if you only know Crusola for the
kind of samurai move, watch High and Low. It's it's amazing.
And there's a sequence involving a train that is just
like it is sinema.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Pure cinema cinema.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Also, I will say, in the.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Non competition type movies, we'll also get Mission Impossible there
the final reckoning that's gonna be its big debut. I'm
sure Tom Cruise will probably do some kind of crazy
parachuting onto the beautiful beaches of southern France. Yeah, I
can invite me and Jason will come. We'll go, We'll
go to the south of France.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'm in it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
By the way, Spike's Old Boy. It's the only Spike
movie that wasn't stamped a Spike Lee joint. He knew
the stand he was, he knew that he he knew
that he fumbled it up. Next, Avengers Doomsday set leak
here it is folks.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Leak if you don't like the leak, if you want
to go and blind, okay, but here's the leak.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Here's the leak, so leaked images from the London set
of Avengers Doomsday. Folks, here it is.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's the right. Why this movie so soon? What's going on?
What's going on with that? There are a bunch of
other movies that's supposed to come out.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
West Blade shows uh, the exterior of everybody's favorite Westchester
prep school and Xavier School Forgifted Youngsters after what appears
to be a battle taking place around the x Mansion.
And of course we understand that in this in this
(10:50):
film because of the the chair reveal from a few
weeks ago that there's gonna be multiple ex actors in this,
including Allen Cumming, Rebecca Romain, Patrick, Stuart Dy McKellen, and
so on. It begs the question, is this gonna be
Avengers versus x Men? I sense no. But one thing
I am sure is gonna happen, and I'm kind of
bummed about, is that we are now. I think this
(11:14):
could very possibly Avengers Doomsday represent the Fifth Fifth. It's
either fourth or five.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I think it's fifth. Let this man just die, guys.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Les screen of death from Charles Exavior, Guys, can we
let Charles live? What? Man?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I have my issues with.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Charles, but no, it's too many man. Also like let
Patrick stewartt like, is he gonna be in the movie
or is he just here to die? I don't know
either way given miss check. But I will say this
makes a lot of sense. Probably goes along with what
we thought, which is that a lot of the X
Men will die early, kind of like X Men first Class,
and then that will likely lead to whatever happens in Doomsday. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean it's hilarious because the.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Set photos look like the X Mansion lego that I'm
currently building, which has a big battle outside it. So
I'm like, great corporate synergy, guys. But yeah, I didn't
know they were filming this movie already. That that's speeding
through it. Man, So we're probably gonna see this. This
one might actually get made.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uh, We're gonna take a short break and we'll be
back with Oscar.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And we're back, folks.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We've been saying it for a long time. We've been
asking for it, asking for it. Rosie has been out
here banging this drum, I have happened. Your Film Academy
will now offer the Stunt Design Award for one hundred
years of the Academy Awards from the From an article
on the Hollywood Reporter quote, the push within the Academy
(12:57):
for a stunt design Oscar was led by stunt performer
turned director producer David Leach, who not coincidentally helmed the
stunt centric twenty twenty four film.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
The Fall Guys.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So this is this is great. We've been asking for
this for a while and it's here, and honestly.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
This is actually I think the way that they posed
this in Hollywood Porter is very interesting because they said
not coincidentally and honestly, like The Fall Guy, me and
Jason have both said, go watch. It's actually really fun movie.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
It's fun. They didn't do a great.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Job with the promo. But I think all of that
is irrelevant because I do think the point of the
movie was to make them make a stunt oscar. That
is what the investment was.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It They broke.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
A world record on barrel rolling a car in that movie.
They did so many incredible stunts. They had Winston Duke
playing a brilliant stunt coordinator, They had Ryan Goslink who
did some really incredible stunts. They had Emily Blunt doing
great fight work, and then you had a ray of
incredible stunt design Chris including Chris O'Hara who is from
(13:55):
Stunts Unlimited. And then they had Emily Blunt and Ryan
Gosling basically do a proto presentation of what a Stunt
Design Award would look like. So I think this was
always the purpose of the movie. I think it's a
fun movie. Leach is literally like one of the most
influential filmmakers from John Wick to Deadpool two. You know,
(14:16):
this is a guy who has changed to it. It's
looking shouldn't have been this long, especially when you think
about someone like Buster Keaton working one hundred years ago
who was doing dar Robinson's like people who were establishing
this work. But it's a huge moment and I think
that it's really interesting. It will be the twenty twenty
seven oscars so movies that release in twenty twenty six,
(14:37):
and I'm very excited because I think this will give
a little push to any movies that are being made
right now to make sure that they include some really
fantastic stunt work, because you know winning an Oscar, as
me and Jason have talked about many times. It's up
there on one of the highest awards, hardest awards to win.
Like there are ways you you know, you can be
(14:59):
Tai Kaway, Tit sleep, you know, nominated for implement Short Film.
It can happen, but you're still gotta make a short film.
You're still got to do it. Stunts is going to
be a way for action movies and Hollywood movies that
often do not get a look in at the Oscars
to really showcase the incredible work that happens.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I think they should open this award by giving some
great stunt performance. I think Dar Robinson is the one.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
But yes, Dar Robinson like the honorary.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yes, and I think they should give him a lifetime
achievement posthumously. He passed away doing a stunt.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But if.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I think they should honor some stunt person, like for me,
it would be dark just because of the amount of
stunts that he created that are now part of the lexico.
Like if you've ever seen a person fall attached to
a cable around their leg and the cable like stops them,
decelerates them as they're falling. Yeah, that's Dar Robinson invented
(15:59):
that gas and it's in so many things.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We have, even the Fall. They do this at the
end of four Guy as an homage where he does
the freefroll from the helicopter, but he did it three
hundred and eleven feet.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
That's a world record.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
He was a stunt double for Christopher Plumber, for Steve McQueen,
for Clint Eastwood. Like that is a man. I think
you're absolutely right. I'm like, you could give a few out.
I'd like to see a little you know, looking at
the stunt design of the classic silent cinema and I
think it is long overdue and I'm very excited to
see if this will bring some of the older action
(16:34):
stars out of retirement or you know, someone like a
Jean claud van Dam. That man's just making straight to
VOD movies that most of them are like. He just
he's like he's like taking He's like out there, he's
like taking down some generic gangsters. But that man is
a legend, Like bring him back, bring Onnold to Watchenegger back.
They're not going to be doing their own stunts, but
(16:54):
you could build a fantastic stunt movie around them with
the notion that potentially you could be an Oscar contention.
So yes, I'm very excited.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Thank you to everyone who worked for this. I think
Vulture as well and New York Magnazine needs a shout
out because they essentially created an award for stump people
because the Oscars didn't. So that was definitely laying a trail.
And yeah, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And finally, in most saving the.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Best Fortnite Festival is kicking off this week and the
season eight pass comes with you know, a Fortnite implemented
this kind of jam system where uh you know, you
could uh enter like emote music mode with a bunch
of different people and like DJ and have like one
person be the drummer and one person be the DJ
(17:43):
and one person be the vocalist. You can do that
with Sabrina Carpenter. Now she enters the game alongside the
likes of Travis Scott, the likes of Galactus God, likes
of Batman to be immortalized in the ip zoo.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
That is sweetwnight.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
What There's been some fantastic memes already.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I was sending I was sending Jason Lees yesterday like
every time I saw it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
That one.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
My favorite one is the very famous part of Sabrina
Carpenter's shows where she does the Juno pos where she
kind of does some kind of sexual situation.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
But in this.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Version when she gets to that line and the show,
she just snipes someone in the head.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And I was like yes.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And then my favorite thing the super producer calm And
pointed out to me is like the Sabrina Carpenter girls
like won't fight each other, so like when they see
each other, they're like teaming up.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They're like, hey, it's me Sabrina.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well they'll start they'll start like they'll start like emoting
do it. And there's somebody who's not a Sabrina comes
into the group.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They just killed that and continue going.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They said, let me dance to Espresso.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
