I'm Sean Fennessy.
>> I'm Amanda Dobins.
>> And this is the Big Picture Conversation
Show about the most anticipated movies
of the year. It's been two full weeks
since we recorded an episode of this
podcast. We are ready for a new year of
movies. Consider this your mega preview.
Amanda and I will each share 13 really
more like 313
new movies that are coming out.
>> Whose fault is that?
>> Well, there's a lot of stuff coming
which I'm excited about. But since it's
been 2 weeks >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> What did What did we miss? How was your
break? Um it it was long which you know
I I feel lucky to be able to spend that
much time with my children and also
never understood
>> the parents being so psyched that school
is back feeling more that in this moment
you know which is it it it happens to
all of us. I hope your school is back LA
USD not back
>> not back till next week.
>> I feel for you guys.
>> Yeah that's a tricky one.
>> Yeah. Thank you to my preschool. Um
yeah. How was yours? Uh, fine. I saw you
a lot. So, it's not really Let's not
perform the the mystery of what could
have transpired over those two weeks.
Uh, no, it was it was good. I
>> we we're in a new era, I think, with my
child where it's not as painful to be
>> managing. I also don't have a
one-year-old, so um you know, it was
fun. It was it was exhausting in a way.
You know, we don't have any family out
here, but um and we didn't go to the
movies very much,
>> which was interesting. We watched a lot
of movies,
>> but this has been a very long stretch
for me to not be in a movie theater. I'm
usually there two, three times a week.
So that was kind of fascinating. We did
have a pretty steady schedule though of
watching stuff at home.
>> Yeah. I wanted to play a game with you.
>> Let's play.
>> Which is So your your winter break or
winter school break in three movies.
Number one, the movie you watched the most.
most. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Number two, the movie you discussed the most.
most.
>> And number three, what movie best
describes your experience? >> Um,
>> Um,
>> number one, you were already like, I
don't have an answer for that. I don't
want to play. Well, it's I don't it's
not that I don't have an answer because
we have a nice thing going where
>> my daughter is not asking to rewatch
movies over and over again at the
moment. She's been very willing to try
new movies. So, for example, over the
last two days, we watched The Empire
Strikes Back. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Because we're doing Star Wars now every
Saturday over the course of the next 10
weeks, we're doing every Star Wars film,
which is really exciting. Starting with
A New Hope three weeks ago, and then we
just did Empire Strikes Back. And then
next week, we'll do Return of the Jedi.
following Phantom Menace
>> at the Academy Museum.
>> At the Academy, not just I mean, you know,
know,
>> at the Academy Museum.
>> And then yesterday we watched Honey I
Shrunk the Kids.
>> Oh, interesting.
>> Which was pretty I would say went over
fairly well and we're trying to navigate
live action in an interesting way. So,
those were two really good first time
experiences. Honey, I blew up the kids
is really more like what my vacation has
been like. You know, there's definitely
some like a little I would say my my
daughter is very is online right now.
Like she is a a person. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> And full sentences.
>> She's not vlogging. No, she's not
like she's a poster.
>> No, she's booted up like the way that
Megan has booted up, you know, from the
Megan films. And she is,
>> you know, she could murder you if she
wanted to. Like she has a lot of um
agency. Yeah,
>> I would say which is helpful in many
ways. does have some downsides and so we
haven't seen Honey I Blow Up the Kids
yet, but there is like she's in control
of a lot. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> At the moment and and is very strong.
What was the third question?
>> The movie that you discussed the most or
like texted about or heard from people about
about
>> Oh, like in the world at large.
>> Yeah. Or you know Christmas.
>> Easily Marty Supreme. Yeah.
>> Easily. For better and for worse, I
think because is that is that the same
for you?
>> That's also my answer. I like, you know,
just confronted by a lot of people being
like, "Well, I've seen your little
Instagram reel and now I need to tell
you my full experience."
>> Yeah. Which is, I think, a good thing.
>> That's great. Yeah, that's good. And
then, I mean, I I did mostly stay
offline, but I was confronted. Uh, some
of the takes got through to me and I
just I think we all need to heal.
>> Yeah. I
Everyone's really worked up about it. I
That's always a good sign, right? This
has happened a couple It happened a
couple times in 2025. It happened when
Sinners came out. It happened when one
battle after another came out. When
movies become flash points and
especially movies like this that kind of capture
capture
>> the cinnophile crowd, but then also
regular movie goers are like, hm,
Timothy Shalomé, I have to get
interested in this. And then so you get
these collisions of taste and yeah, I
got some feedback that maybe we were too
enthusiastic or not enthusiastic enough
or, you know, I I think we have to
probably keep talking about that movie.
>> Well, we'll get into that. I hope so. I
really liked it. I I did have a lot of
personal interactions of people just
being like yes hello and now I would
like to dialogue for 30 minutes about
this which I really enjoyed then you
know all of the is he a good person bad
person stuff I just like
>> go have fun I'm like I'm begging you
children of the world you are young go
have fun and don't make all of the
decisions he makes I'm not endorsing
them but like let go and then there was
some stuff about the dog which like I
just can't get into, you know?
>> What was the stuff?
>> I don't know. I think there were a lot
of people who were really upset with how
the the the the treatment of the dog in
the film
>> and it wasn't they didn't treat him well.
well. >> Agree.
>> Agree.
>> No one treated him well. I would say
>> that's true. I don't really think
anybody was treated well in this film.
>> So I like I'm with you. But
>> I would agree. I would agree.
>> I you know the the people really
responding to the dog stuff more than
the ending uh was an interesting
>> dichotomy. I want to talk about the
Marty Supreme breaking contained from
the A24 world a little bit more with
you, but do what are the two answers to
the first two questions for you?
>> Oh, sure. Um,
the film I watched the most was Star
Wars: A New Hope. Um, because after
telling you about my experience with the
Mandalorian and Grou trailer, you gave
my child a small Grou for Christmas
along with a little It's I guess that's
a bed. Is that what he sleeps in?
>> Um, it's really more of like his
hovercraft. Okay.
>> But that very quickly got kind of
destroyed by the children in the house.
>> So it's back it's together and it's now
understood to be his boat.
>> It is it is sort of his boat. You know,
he kind of floats through the world
alongside the Mandalorian. Okay.
>> So it is sort of it's his hover boat,
>> right? So that's Grogo is what go Grou
go is what he's called in our house.
>> I love it.
>> And the boat and
>> cuz he's on the go. Is that the idea? I
we're going to get through like some
pronunciation quirks um in the Star Wars
universe. Uh and
>> it's Rancor, not Rancor.
>> So, we keep watching Star Wars: A New Hope.
Hope. >> Mhm.
>> Mhm.
>> Um I on the second viewing, I was asked
or I was told, "Mama, do not film the
credits or me." Uh because I was making
content the first time he watched Star Wars.
Wars.
>> The credits. Oh. Oh, the scroll.
>> Yeah. He was like, "Mama, don't do that."
that."
>> Okay. Then
>> well this Star Wars it changes a person.
>> Yeah. Then um he kept asking where Grogo
was. I asked him to explain to me what
happens in Star Wars and he says dark DK
Vader has a meeting. He's describing the
scene in which he strangles someone.
>> Uh and it is a meeting of sorts
>> and all the aliens play music which is
the absolutely true the cantina has made
an impression on him and everybody else.
>> So far so good. uh seems more interested
in stormtroopers
than real people, which is worrying. >> Um
>> Um
>> really not into Han
>> like at all, which I was very confused by.
by.
>> It's red flag.
>> I I agree. Chewbacca, he's you know, but
I think like he shows up and again
>> Hans introduction is in the cantina.
>> Mhm. And so you have to understand the
affinity that my son has for the racist
aliens playing music because they're
playing music.
>> Did you explain to him what the Kessle
run was because he likes it when things
go fast?
>> He to in support of Tracy lets it was
like four viewings before he actually
made it through the end of the movie. He
like noticeably left every single time.
And yesterday morning we made it all the
way through and I heard my husband be
like, "Hey, Luke just blew up the like
the Death Star. Did you see that?" And
it just like silence from Noox. interesting,
interesting,
>> you know, but he's very interested in he
was like, "Where's Jabba?" So,
>> I've got a I'm going to develop a Lego
plan to get him interested in a series
of different characters.
>> I know, but we can't. His size is going
to eat all the Legos. So, it's like
>> Duplo. We'll start with Duplo.
>> Do they make Star Wars Duplo?
>> I'm certain that they do.
>> Yeah. Anyway, uh I'm in hell, but we've
watched that a lot. And then
>> Star Wars is the best. The best. The fir
the first three films is magic.
>> He definitely is locked into it. And now
we're trying to figure out like is
Empire too dark for him? thought it went
over well. There there are a couple
really scary parts. We can talk about it
more as we go through this Star Wars
journey. This is a good thing for us to
be checking in on.
>> Yeah. What do we do next?
>> Um there's two really scary things in in
Empire and two really scary things in Jedi.
Jedi.
>> And do you need to cover your children's eyes?
eyes?
>> That's a whole other episode of this
show, but okay. So, you watch Star Wars
the most. And then what was the second one?
one?
>> Uh the best describes my uh was
definitely If I had legs, I'd kick you.
Um, everyone's fine and and that's and
also no shots at my husband who's very
present and supportive. It was more that
I did find myself once in a in a parking
lot uh screaming at the CVS robot on the
phone just being like, "Let me talk to a
pharmacist." Just screaming
representative like psychotically like
full break over and over again just cuz
I needed to find out the pharmacy hours
on New Year's Eve so I could get my
child antibiotics. And there was no way
I couldn't get through. But it was me in
a parking lot having something of a
break with AI.
>> Well, this is why we make films, right?
Art can represent our experiences. We
can see the world through the eyes of
others and it makes us feel more sane. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So, thank you to Mary Bronstein for
seeing Amanda this year. Um,
>> what was yours?
the movie that most explains my >> describes
>> really have a clever answer to this
question. I >> I
think I was thinking a lot about uh how
nice it was to not be watching movies
for assignment.
>> Sure. So, um, you know, maybe the big
Labowski was just kind of floating
through life, not really worried about
earning a paycheck, not really worried
about doing anything other than hanging
with loved ones. Um,
>> and now, welcome back to hell.
>> Yeah. Well, yeah, last night I fired up
a film, the film I really like that
we're going to talk about later this
month on the show, but I did feel like I
was I was back at work. Um, and it was a
great break and I'm I'm but I'm and I'm
really excited about a lot of what we're
going to be talking about today because
>> I do think that there's some reasons to
be hopeful about movies. There's some
reasons to be a little bit skeptical
obviously as there are every year, but
>> I'd like to celebrate as much as we can
this year. The original intention of
this show was to celebrate. We now are
in a place where really because of me
like we cover pretty much everything
that comes out in America. Um, but I I'm
hopeful that we will have more good
weeks than bad weeks in terms of new
>> exciting things on this list. We also
have things
that we had to divvy up, you know, where
you and you have some things on your
list that I was like, "Oh, I really
wanted that." Um, which is exciting at
least and that there's some shared taste
and some, you know, we've we've
identified the the big picture points of
2026. Much like last year, there were a
number there are a number of films from
filmmakers who we really care about who
have new movies coming out. So, we can
talk about that. But before we do that,
like let's talk about what transpired
over the holidays in terms of box office
because it's it's fairly interesting. It
was a very successful
>> two week stretch of movies released into
the world. We talked about virtually
every one of the major releases. We
talked about Marty Supreme, Anaconda,
Song Blue. Um, you know, Avatar Fire and
Ash is probably the best place to start
>> because the total box office this year
was up 1% over 2024, which is not
amazing. Although, if you factor in
>> Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic
getting bumped and you factor in Mortal
Kombat getting bumped at the last minute
to next year, >> right?
>> right?
>> Actually, was a pretty decent year at
the box office. All things considered, I
think next year, this year I should say,
is going to be huge in part because
Avatar Fire and Ash will still be
playing. And the movie is over $1
billion in 18 days. >> Mhm.
>> Mhm.
>> It's made $770 million internationally
in 18 days.
We don't we don't doubt Big Jim. >> No,
>> No,
>> there's there's there's really never
been a reason to. I mean, the movie is
probably on pace for close to what I
predicted. I think I predicted 1.7,
maybe 1.6 on the episode. Do you
remember what I said?
>> No, I don't.
>> Okay. Maybe I didn't even make a proper
prediction, but in my head, I was
thinking 1.7.
>> We both guessed under two billion, and
then whether it's, you know, >> so
>> so
>> none of that money will be coming to me.
So, I I I didn't worry about the 6
versus 7.
>> It will be going to Disney, which we'll
talk about, too. So, if the movie gets
to 1.7, then that means that four of the
10 highest grossing movies of all time
domestically are are or excuse me,
internationally worldwide are James
Cameron movies.
>> Yeah. Titanic and Three Avatar films.
>> Good job, Big Jim.
>> That's pretty crazy to be so tapped into
the mainframe of narrative interest worldwide.
worldwide.
>> I I I think so. At least for the first
two, it's there is a little bit with
this one of
he it feels like he built the structure
of Avatar needing to dominate the box
office and also everyone clearing out
for it and so it's like not quite like a
self-fulfilling prophecy. Sure.
>> But um and and again he built that
structure so and reheated it after 10
years with the second one.
>> It's a chicken or the egg question cuz
obviously as soon as this movie got
dated everyone ran away from it. Like
there's not really a major studio
release that would be competing with the movie
movie
>> until The Bone Temple, the 28 Years
Later sequel, which comes out January
16th. So you're talking about a month
>> where like, you know,
>> not to discriminate too heavily, but
young male audiences, there's not a ton
of movies for them. And so this movie is
going to continue to play worldwide
pretty strongly for a long time. And
then even after Bone Temple, it's like
Weathering Heights and Scream 7 in
February. It's going to be a a
complicated couple months.
>> Yeah. Um,
>> I mean, Avatar got way in a ahead of
movies as events slash, amusement park
experiences where it's like a thing that
you do three or four times a year and
you have to do it in theater and
everybody knows that and um, you know, I
guess in many ways is like paving a road
for other people. I don't know if it's a
road any of us want to be on, but
>> if you're not James Cameron, it's just
really hard to do. You know, like
there's just a certain level of craft
and like we saw like Michael Man, for
example, cited this movie as his
favorite movie of the year. I think it
was Variety that published a bunch of
filmmakers that talked about their
favorite movies of the year. Some
hilarious choices, some interesting
choices. Man loves the Avatar movies. He
named Avatar one of his favorite movies
of all time.
>> And filmmakers really like this movie
because they don't really It's something
new. It's like something that they've
not done before. They they admire
someone like going to a new realm of
creativity. So, there's still like a lot
of admiration for it. it. This one did
feel a little iterative as we talked
about in our episode about it. It It did
feel a little sy from two. So I don't I
don't hold it personally as in as high esteem.
esteem.
>> Same though. I spoke to people over the
break who liked this more than the
second one.
>> Oh, really?
>> I don't know.
>> That's odd.
>> I thought so as well, but you everyone
gets to have their opinion.
>> It is more of a mega action movie. There
is a tremendous amount of action because
of the fire people. Also, you know, if
you're horny for Verang,
>> that's a thing people are getting.
Right. Jack. Yeah, he's in on that.
Thank you. Um, Disney did dominate this
year. So,
>> uh, after six weekends at 1.6 billion,
Zootopia 2 is now the number three
animated release of all time. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> It passed Frozen 2, which if you had
asked me two weeks ago, what is the
movie that we watched the most in my house?
house?
>> Frozen 2.
>> It would be Frozen 2.
>> I did discuss it a lot with Alice over
the break.
>> Frozen 2 is The Talisman. That is that
is the movie that describes her being.
>> I asked Alice what she liked about
Frozen 2 instead of Frozen and she said
there are a lot of lyrics. There are a
great number of lyrics that I hear
frequently sung in my in my living
space. Uh, Inside Out 2 is the number
two animated film of all time and Neha
2, yeah,
>> is the number one that also came out
this year. Primarily made its money
overseas. Um, I started to watch it on
HBO Max over the break. Turned it off.
Thought it was boring. Okay. Didn't see Neha.
Neha.
>> Kind of missing some of the references,
you know. Um,
>> Lilo and Stitch, Zootopia 2, Fire and
Ash, three Marvel movies. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Pretty big year for Disney,
>> right? Yeah. just creativity alive.
>> I' I'm inspired, you know, a remake of
an animated movie that uh takes away
women's agency and then another movie
about a patent. So, that's great.
>> I love what we're giving to our children.
children.
>> I enjoyed Zootopia, too. Marty Supreme,
we mentioned this earlier, $56 million
in 9 days domestically, uh, plus
international distribution, which the
movie is not out yet internationally for
the most part, is already pre-sold. Um,
this movie is gonna make over 80
million, maybe over a hundred. I I think
Jack was like, "What if it's 37, >> right?"
>> right?"
>> And that would just be disaster.
>> The low end of the tracking was bad.
>> We burst past that in one and a half
weekends. Uh, number three all time for
A24 already behind Everything Ever All
at Once in Civil War.
>> Shalom sold the [ __ ] out of this movie.
>> Sure did.
>> It's, you know, I don't know if it's
going to be one of the greatest hits of
all time. It was a fairly expensive
movie, but this is pretty good for some
for a two and a half hour period piece.
>> I'm feeling it.
>> Uh, pretty exciting. Housemate is even
bigger than Marty. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Uh, the Housemmaid, which we think is
not very good. >> No.
>> No.
>> Has made $92 million worldwide in three
weekends. Sydney Sweeney off the
Schneider. She's back.
>> One of our greatest stars. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, what do you think this tells us? the
success of this movie >> that
>> that
women like trash too,
>> you know, and women like their version
of trash. As I said, I didn't have
>> This is your Captain America: Brave New World.
World.
>> I didn't have a terrible time
>> at this film. Obviously, we had some
notes. Someone cited this online and so
I can't remember who it is. So, forgive
me for not giving this person credit, but
but
>> I I do hope that Hollywood realizes that
we did used to do this all the time,
which is just like there's a there's a
popular book that people read on beaches
>> and just adapt it and make it a movie
with with hot young people and we'll go
see it. Like this was the blueprint for
25 years and I there's no reason why we
can't go back to this. Like the Colleen
Hoover phenomenon is that
>> they they are doing it. We're going to
talk a little bit about the Emily Henry
phenomenon which is starting this week.
I wish
>> in general that like the movies were the
books they were pulling from were like
slightly better though. Listen, I reread
the Pelican Brief a few years ago and
it's great.
>> It's not anina.
>> But page turners, you know, absolutely
they're plot machines. That's the whole
point, right? Like it's and this is
meant to be
>> and then and and still it was also Al
Pula who directed that. like it's not
not his best work. No,
>> but still it's so we we could aim a
little bit higher, but
>> it's good that we're trying.
>> I think it's a good start and I think
it's a a good thing to keep banging the
drum about because this kind of defeats
what you were citing about Avatar, which is
is
>> The Housemade is not a one like one of
my three movies of the year kind of a
movie. It's a movie that people have
thought of for the last five or so years
as a streaming movie. And it can be a
lot of fun to go see a movie like this
in a movie theater. I I didn't have as
much fun as you did, but if done well
enough, it's a nice night out,
>> right? Though, also, if we had been able
to work our schedules to have that be
the holiday party, we would have had a
great time.
>> Might have been a kinder review if I'd
had a couple of margaritas, right? You know,
know,
>> I still am so mad we didn't see
Regretting You together.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, we'll have reminders
of him soon.
>> No, that's not the one. I mean, that is
soon, but there's there's another one I
just Monroe I just absolutely
>> can't wait for. Uh let's do some quick
awards season check-ins because we had
two notable uh I guess awards handed
out. One was the National Society of
Film Critics gave their awards on
Saturday and then on Sunday we had the
Critics's Choice Awards. I did not watch
the telecast for Critics's Choice but we
can talk about some of the results. I
saw some of the speeches online.
>> Uh National Society of Film Critics One
Battle after another one best picture. Yes,
Yes,
>> this is notable, I guess, because it
makes One Battle one of only three, one
of only four other three other films
that lock down the sort of four major
critics, national groups, the New York
Film Critic Circle, LA Film Critics, um
the National Board of Review, which is
not really a critical body, but is
thought to have some critics in it,
>> and then National Society of Film
Critics. They all gave one battle after
another best film. The three other times
that's happened, Schindler's List, LA
Confidential, and as we discussed in our
Social Network episode, The Social Network.
Network. >> Right.
>> Right.
>> So, that's rare air. However,
>> it's not necessarily predictive of a
best picture win. In fact, right now,
it's one of three. >> Correct.
>> Correct.
>> One battle could tip it to 50%. Yes. But >> yeah,
>> yeah,
>> and these are critics awards for the
most part, so that they don't really
tell us anything about how the Academy
with the Academy singing. And I want to
kind of use that as a lens to look
through the these most recent
>> uh items because
>> we feel like we know every I feel like I
know everything about what's going to
happen. But I don't think we know Yeah.
Well, that is my that is my my essence.
But I don't I don't think we know anything.
anything.
>> I I think that there's an opportunity in
the next few weeks. Okay. as we start to
get a few more awards bodies weighing in
that are from within the industries that
are going to tip some things in a specific.
specific.
>> So by that you mean DJs, PGA's >> SAG
>> SAG
>> SAG and you know the Golden Globes are
next week which are
>> you as we have said over and over again
made up and then also recently just kind
of coattailing what all of like the
critics and
>> um conventional wisdom is. Yeah. But
because of the categories split, you're
going to get an opportunity for a few
people to get a moment who might not,
which I do think at least puts films or
performances in front of people and
voters in a way. So I like I agree with
you that we don't really know anything.
Chris Ryan yesterday was asking me like
when does award season really really
start for you? And I said like, I guess
you could say this weekend because there
was the Palm Springs International uh
gala film festival extravaganza to which
everyone but Leonardo DiCaprio made it.
You know, sometimes you just can't get
air clearance from from the yacht. Um,
and then the Critics's Choice Awards,
which kind of aren't usually a thing
that we pay this much attention to, but
because of the way the holidays fell
this year and the fact that the Golden
Globes went on or are going a week later,
later, >> Mhm.
>> Mhm.
>> they they took advantage of the vacuum.
It also felt like that this Palm Springs
Gala is not usually the same level of
attention. I don't see as many red
carpet pictures, but everyone
>> It's very star-studded this year. Um, I
think it coming on the heels of the
critic's choice means a lot of people
were kind of pinging back and
>> exactly but but I think both events saw
okay we've got this weekend that is
after New Year's people are going to
start coming to Los Angeles and the
Gloes are not on that weekend.
>> Exactly. So you could say in terms of
like campaigning it started this weekend
but I said to Chris I think Golden
Globes is when it really starts. I think
you're right and I think they have some
impact in so far as that your kind of
common voter will look at who the
winners are and say like okay these are
the front runners and we can talk about
that in in the aftermath of it and the
split categories allows
>> what already feels like a wheat and
chaff year where it's like three or four
films are really competing at the top of
the race and then everything else is just
just
>> feels a little happy to be there. Um
>> we'll go through the rest of the society
of film critics awards. So one battle
one PTA won for director.
>> Yeah. Um
>> the the the National Society of Film
Critics does provide vote breakdowns.
They do, which is wonderful.
>> Yeah. Which is wonderful and I think
interesting. So one battle after another
one in a landslide. It has 57 points and
the runners up were sinners with 29 and
the secret agent with 27, which I think
is telling what the runners up are, but
also that there is
>> a real chasm. U not not a real chasm,
but like there is distance between. You
don't see that distance
>> in almost any other category. Um PTA won
with 54 points. The runners up um were
Jafar Panahi with 48 points and Richard
Linklater for both Blue Moon and New
Velv 39 points. But so I I think Jafar
Panahi being that close is telling.
>> I agree. I think he's also a very strong
contender for best director.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Um so Kathleen Shaant from
Familiar Touch like a very classic film
critic thing. That that's great.
>> That and that's cool and that's what
critics bodies should do.
>> 45 points. And then Rose Burn from If I
Had Legs I'd Kick You 39 points and
Ranata Rensby sentimental value 37
points. So it's like very everything's
very close.
>> Jesse Buckley not being there is like
>> well that is that's a critical move to
because there's an inevitability about
that win. That's one of the very few
races where I'm I feel very strongly
>> that it is over. It's done. Um maybe the
only race that I feel like is locked. [Music]
[Music]
>> I don't know. I and Golden winning best
song. Like those are those are the two
that I'm like these these are happening
and everything else I mean I could be
wrong. You never know. I think
>> I think that this vote is in part a
reflection of the inevitability. And
also Hamnet has been a little bit more
divisive critically. You know
>> that's true.
>> I think it's going to do very well in
the awards race but there are some
critics who really have not gone for it. Yeah.
Yeah.
>> Uh best supporting actress Tayana Taylor
>> won with 56 points. A very close race.
>> Yeah. with Inga Ipsdaughter Lilius from
Sentimental Value. You said 47 points.
That's that's tight.
>> Yeah. And then Wumi Masaka Saku is also
a runner up. 41 points.
>> Yeah. I'm curious to see see if she gets
nominated. That's also going to be a tough
tough
>> spot for her to get in. So, it feels
like there's some kind of boosting going
on there. Um, best actor,
Blue Moon, Ethan Hawk.
>> Very interesting. What? What? I mean,
>> well, in the best actor and best actress categories.
categories. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, none of the front runners are present.
present.
>> Well, that's not true because Vagnera is
the runner up with 43 points. And I
think you really just
>> We'll talk about it again on Sunday
after the Golden Globes. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> But I you know, you I mean, you were the
first one to say you really got to watch
this space and you got to keep watching
this space.
>> One of my take one of my takeaways from
this whole weekend has been that The
Secret Agent is very strong.
>> Yes. And so, but we're still just in the
critics groups, and that's a critics
movie written and directed by a former
critic. No, you know, so I love that movie.
movie.
>> That's true. But also, we're the
critics. This is an American critics
bodies. Critics's Choice Awards is very
American and like really not
internationally inclined even in its
nominees. True. So,
>> Brazil very strong inact. Yes, we know.
Come to Brazil.
>> Yeah. I you know what? I would be very
happy with a Vagner Morgan win. I think
he's tremendous in that movie. So, I I'm
just a little I I know these we know
these moves. We know these moves as list
makers, as editorial people um for
Timothy Shalomé and Leonardo DiCaprio to
not be cited. Uh best supporting actor,
Benio Del Toro.
>> Yeah. You feel less certain about this
than you do about Jesse Buckley?
>> I do. This category is a little
confusing to me. I worry that Benio and
Shan Pen will I don't worry. I I think
Bonisio and Shen could cancel each other
out. It's possible.
>> I just just clip my clip right now. You
know, I know you've already clipped it,
but just like put it get it ready for
that. And that's fine
>> when that happens. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> I I feel confident
>> when Oh, that it's going to happen. Oh,
okay. It's possible. Obviously, he's
wonderful in the movie. Um Del Roy Lindo
and at number two with 37 points. Stan
Scarsgard for sentimental value at 30
points. Screenplay also went to Panahi.
Um Robert Kaplau's uh Blue Moon script
and uh Clber Mendoza Filio's Secret
Agent script is there,
>> right? Best film in the English
language, not in the English language is
The Secret Agent.
>> By one point to it was just an accident.
So, and it it does sort of feel like,
all right, we'll do screenplay. We'll
do, you know, not in the English language.
language.
They're passing them around. Best
non-fiction film, My Undesirable
Friends, Part One, Last Air in Moscow.
>> You know, look for this one as the
winner in this category. This is a very,
very good film. It's just a question of
>> will people sit through it? Will they
sit through the five hours of the film?
And if they will, I think it's a kind of
a hard movie to turn away from in a lot
of ways. Best cinematography went to
Autumn Dalapow for Sinners. Very
deserving win. We saw Adalfo Velos for
Train Dreams come in second here. He won
the Critics's Choice Awards. It's kind
of an interesting battle. I don't know
>> if that's going to translate. Yeah,
there's a little bit of trickiness with
Michael Bowman for um one battle after
another because there's this belief that
sort of Michael Bowman and um Paul
Thomas Anderson and also their chief
cameraman who Ben Affleck talked about,
Marty Supreme, Colin Anderson,
>> the that they make like this like
triumvirate of cinematographers together
on the film and I wonder if somehow
Michael Bowman will get dinged for that
in some of the voting but so you could
see really a chance for Sinners or Train
Dreams to get some love there. Critics's
Choice Awards. Go through this a little
more quickly. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> One battle, one best picture. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> It's pretty much won every best picture
race of note thus far.
>> Um, best actor Timothy Shalom. Did you
see the speech?
>> Oh, I sure did. First of all, he also
missed the credit sequence of Sinners.
Thank you so much, Timothy Shalom. I feel
feel
>> huge for you. He did go back a second
time. Did you?
>> Yeah. Not yet, but I really need to. Um,
I It was nice. He seemed nervous, which
was confusing.
He said he was nervous. So, but that was
Yeah, that was very sweet.
>> It's like he he's moved out of the Marty
mo mode now.
>> He's no longer campaigning as Marty.
>> Like I don't know whether someone I I'm
afraid he read the comments, you know,
and I don't want him to read the
comments cuz he also made that comment.
He made that thank you to Josh Safy. You
know, you present people
>> who do good things and bad things and
you don't judge. And I was just like, oh
no. Like I know you're a poster, but you
got to you got to put up your wall.
Yeah. Um,
>> you think he has notifications on?
>> I hope not.
>> I mean, I know that that generation is
pretty crazy with their attention, but
Jack, do you have notifications of any
kind on on your phone?
>> Yes, of course.
>> What? Like, but for what?
>> Uh, New York Mets updates. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Texts from my girlfriend.
>> Okay. I mean, texts don't count. Texts
are allowed.
>> Social media.
>> Anything else or apps?
>> Uh, the only social media notifications
I get are Twitter for sports related
information. But is it filtered for
sports related information?
>> I choose what notifications I receive.
So Jeff Passen, yes. Chris Ryan, no. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> That that too is my hierarchy. Okay.
>> Um I like I can live with that
though. I don't want you to add anything else.
else.
>> Okay. I think Shalamé also made an
effort to cite his con his co-nominees
in the category in an effort to kind of like
like
>> pull back on some of the Marty
aggressiveness and I wonder if he is to win
win
>> this coming Sunday when we see a more
demure or humble
>> Timothy Shalamé. Hard to say. His look
right now is extremely funny like the
short hair and the mustache.
>> It's an awkward uh grow regrowth length,
you know, and that happens to everyone
when you cut your hair off, you know.
You like you get in the middle there and
there's no way out but through.
>> I really want to do it. I just really
want to cut Buzzer.
>> Yeah, I really want to do it.
>> Okay. I mean to to quote Little Women,
your one great beauty is your hair, but um
>> it's it's it is it's really good. You
still have all of it?
>> I do.
>> They're no there's no transplant going
on here, everyone. This is 100% NATURAL.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW. I'm just trying to
help you out here. I'm I'm boosting you.
>> I just I'm sick of it. Listen, I get it.
>> I'm sick of it. But what are you sick
of? There's not even that much of it.
>> It's just I just want to be free. I just
want to get away, you know? I just want
to make enough money so I can get away.
>> Uh I thought it was I thought it was
sweet when he talked to Kylie. That she
could have like been a little more
demonstrative in response, but I guess
it's awkward. >> Um
>> Um
>> yeah, I they're they're public now,
right? That's something I learned that
that's a thing that can happen or not
happen. Um, best actress, Jesse Buckley.
>> That was great. And then her Paul
Meascll stuff was was truly lovely.
Well, yeah, he blushed and then he wept.
It was a great combo. He's he's special.
>> Best director, Paul Thomas Anderson. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh, he he was quite moved as well. And
actually, when best picture when the
film won for best picture, Tiana Taylor
was was bit rough at PTA. She was firing
him up, you know. She was it was like he
was getting ready to go out after
halftime, you know, and go go battle.
Uh, original screenplay Cougler for
Sinners, adapted screenplay PTA for one battle.
battle.
>> Here's some interesting wins. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Supporting actor and actress
>> for actor Jacob Allerty for Frankenstein
and for actress Amy Madigan for weapons. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Two horror films. >> Two
>> Two
>> sort of
>> two folks. I mean, they sure
>> two monster movies for sure. um
two two candidates who are in the race
for sure who have been widely critically praised.
praised. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Who most people do not think are at the
front of the line in their races. >> No.
>> No.
>> Do you think this matters at all?
>> I think that No, I I don't I feel that
they both will be nominated, but I felt
that before Critics's Choice. I think if
anything, this indicates that
>> normies really like Frankenstein. They
just really do. And I think you and I
and many other people have scratched our
heads at the
>> the normie voters of the Critics's
Choice Awards, you're saying?
>> Yeah. And and people in general that we
we it was not for us, but people still
And so that that film is just kind of stronger.
stronger.
>> I I mean, I think his performance is
excellent, though. We talked about that, too.
too.
>> No, but I I don't think he's going to
win supporting actor.
>> I don't think so either. I Amy Madigan,
you never know.
>> It could happen.
>> A good a well-run campaign that could
happen. That sort of thing has happened
before. I'm trying to think of what the
win was.
>> She was wearing Dior, so that was cool. Also,
Also, >> uh,
>> and Ethan Hawk was wearing Bodie and
looked amazing. This concludes my
fashion report. And, uh, Tim Simons had
a nice velvet jacket on.
>> Tim looked great.
>> He looked so good.
>> He was smoking it out there. Uh, what
was the race? There was a race some time ago.
Oh, I remember very vividly watching the
1993 Academy Awards for the 1992 films
and best supporting actress that year.
Here were the nominees. Miranda
Richardson for a film called Damage,
Vanessa Redgrave for Howard's End, Joan
Plowright for Enchanted April, Judy
Davis for Husbands and Wives. Now, four,
you know, seasoned acclaimed actors, and
Marissa Toé for My Cousin Vinnie.
>> And Marissa Toé won for My Cousin Vinnie
in what was thought to be like a
surprising win. There was some
conspiracy about it in the aftermath,
but totally deserving.
>> And I remember having a feeling for Joan
Plowight that night
>> that was very unusual. I was like, this
this poor woman who at the time I guess
was it was only 64. She wasn't that old,
but she seemed compared to Merc, she
seemed very old. And it was like Joan
Plowight's you know, probably never
going to have another chance to win an
Academy Award. She didn't win an Academy
Award. It was her only nomination. um
you know, notably married to Lawrence
Olivier for decades, >> right?
>> right? >> Uh
>> Uh
>> and Amy Madigan is in that spot of like
you can't is she going to be nominated
again? Probably not. >> No.
>> No.
>> And so when people are looking Tiana
Taylor or they're looking Ingga Ipsar
Lilas or you know they're looking at
down the list like
>> Yeah. But the the Inger Ipsar Lilious
thing is very strong. Mhm.
>> Um, you know, PTA and the director's
roundup singled her out as well,
>> dude. Of of course
>> a movie about a damaged family. Of
course, Paul Thomas Anderson loves that
movie. Come on.
>> I listen.
Love to see that.
>> But again,
>> to be praising movies like that that
you're competing against is is I always
love when filmmakers do that. Anytime
the director does that, I think that's
great. That's why I asked that question
at the end of the episodes because I'm
very curious like what they on and if
somebody doesn't say a movie that's just
come out.
>> Yeah. You know, yeah.
>> Um but again, this is not an international
international
>> like voting body. This is even within
the nominees, there are not as many international
international
>> um films represented in the actors or in
the best picture category. So, I I think
you got to I think she's coming and then
and then that starts to the numbers
breakdown of who goes for Tiana Taylor
versus Amy Madigan versus Inga. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I I I don't know quite yet.
>> It's an interesting one. Best casting
and ensemble. Nice to see this. Francine
Masler, a legendary casting director who
uh cast Sinners, which is um incredibly
worthy of this award. This is going to
be a fun one to track. Yeah. Um, I want
to do
I want to do a full episode about this.
Um, and have a couple of casting
directors on the show to talk about it
and then you and I can kind of talk
about what we think is like effective in
all of these nominees. We have to wait
until after the Oscar nominees come out.
>> But when you look at Sinners and you
look at One Battle and you look at Marty
Supreme and you look at The Secret
Agent, like the films that are going to
be competing in this award um are really
interesting. I learned over the weekend,
I didn't realize this when we talked
about our um the short list, that it was
just an accident, was not submitted for
best casting, which is why it was not on
that short list. Um I think because
there was probably no formal casting
director, it sounds like on the film, so
there was not a name to submit, but
that's like there's a lot of details to
a new award. We should spend some time
talking through it because it is
>> it's a mysterious art, right?
Identifying the right person. I I like
that The Critic's Choice also does this.
Best foreign language film also went to
Secret Agent. This is a lot of wins for
the secret agent.
>> It's really really happening. I was
tickled over the weekend to see that in
the deliberations for the national um
society of film critics, I think it was
David Rooney who shared that uh Dona
Sebastiana from the secret uh secret
agent Tanya Maria is her name was like
higher than you would expect in
supporting category which I mean
>> she's wonderful too.
>> She's incredible in that would be a cool campaign.
campaign.
>> Yeah. I mean, I don't I don't know
whether that's going to happen, but just
that there is enough awareness and
excitement for that film that a small
but memorable role would be in the
supporting actress category. Again, as
you said, it's a critic's body like
they're they're trying to get, but it's
>> Yeah, but it's sticking with people.
>> Yeah. K-pop Demon Hunters won best
animated feature.
>> Stay tuned to that. Best comedy, The
Naked Gun. Do we need a best comedy category?
category?
>> What if could you pick five comedies
from last year? Like could you fill out
the the ballot with deserving comedies?
>> Jurassic World Rebirth. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> One really rude.
>> Uh, no. I mean, sure. There's
>> Jonathan Bailey loved that dinosaur,
>> you know, and it was a laugh riot. Uh,
best production design went to
Frankenstein. Best editing went to F1.
Best costume design also to
Frankenstein. Best hair and makeup also
to Frankenstein. See, this is what I'm
>> that may that may transpire over over I
mean Del Toro always really strong with
the um below the line groups and and
Frankenstein's going to be not it's
going to get six nominations for sure.
Best visual effects went to Avatar Fire
and Nash of course I would expect that
to be the case at the Oscars. Best sound
went to F1
>> will also be competing very strongly
there. We mentioned cinematography went
to Adalfo for Train Dreams. Best song
Golden best score a little bit grandson
for sinners
>> could be three for three
>> would be deserving
>> would be deserving
>> we I mean we had the Marty Supreme score
on in the home a lot over the last two weeks
weeks
>> I did as well yeah I got Alice listening
to it a lot and she was like that this
is very peaceful
>> oh okay
>> she found it very calming there is a
kind of enya quality to some of the tracks
tracks
>> for sure
>> um best stunt design eastwood for
Mission Impossible the final reckoning
revisited that film over the break
didn't go well for No.
>> Best young actor or actress? Miles uh
Kaitton for Ken Ken. Miles Kenton for
Sinners. Um
>> I'd like to have a breakthrough
performance at the Oscars as you know.
Yeah. Feel like it's silly that we don't
have that. So DGA and SAG nominations
coming later this week. We won't be
recording an episode on Thursday when
both of those come out. Right. So we
won't be able to talk about those until
next probably maybe the Golden Globes episode.
episode.
>> Yeah. But they'll be useful in that
context. And the Golden Globes episode
will really be like a Okay. Where are we?
we?
>> Yes. Couple things to site mostly just
for DGA that I think people should look
for. I don't I don't really know what's
going on in this race. It seems like
it's set up and chalky to be PTA
Cougler, Khloe Xiao, Jafar Panahi, and
Yokim Trier. >> Yeah,
>> Yeah,
>> that seems like the five. And then the
two people on the outside, uh Josh Safy
and Gal Del Toro.
>> I think from a the betting markets
perspective, those are the DGA nominees.
>> Maybe Filio is in the mix there as well. Secrets
Secrets
>> then you can be like okay secret agent
is super strong
>> but DJ is really unpredictable and has a
an odd history with
>> international filmmakers. So for example
Alonso Quaron won for Roma
>> but then Bong Junho did not win for
Parasite. Sam Mendy's won that year for
1917 the following year. So last year
Jacques Odiard got in um but they put
Edward Burgerer who was also an
international filmmaker but was that was
an English language film uh in Conclave
over Corley Farcia >> right
>> right
>> don't really know like last year James
Mangold was in with DGA that was a
little bit of a surprise and then that
turned out that he was in at the
>> suggested strength at the academy
>> for a complete unknown and
>> it's never five to five
>> almost very rarely there's always some
sort of and you know I think some years international.
international.
There have been international surprises
that then do show up at the in the
Academy nominees and then sometimes they
switch around. Some years they just like
forget about women. So, you know, but it's
it's
>> it's mostly predictive, but you can't
totally bank on that.
>> You're right that it's usually four out
of five and choosing the right four. You
can usually choose three out of five
pretty easily that'll be at the Academy
Awards for SAG. I think let's look at
let's look at ensemble because it'll
matter matter this.
>> I'm sorry. The actor awards.
>> The actor awards. Well, it's still the
Screen Actors Guild Awards, >> right?
>> right?
>> But the Telecast is the actor awards, right?
right?
>> I I didn't read that far into the press
release. I got to be honest to you. Or
is just the the little statue now the
actor? No, I think it's always been and
the actor goes to
>> Well, let's trust let's check out trusty
Wikipedia. So, when you go to
>> Oh, that's so interesting. So it is the
actor awards presented by SAG ARA but
>> when you Google it what it shows you is
Screen Actors Guild Awards. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> So and this is the 30
>> but the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Okay. This is just
>> Was it called the Actor Awards last year?
year?
>> No. I I really thought this was a rebrand.
rebrand.
>> So last year it was called the 31st
Screen Actors Guild Awards. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> And then this year for the first time is
the Actor Awards. I read the first two
lines of the press release, chuckled,
and moved on.
>> This is just going to become common
within two years. We'll just call it the
actor awards. Anyhow, look at best ensemble
ensemble >> because
>> because >> yeah,
>> yeah,
>> you're you're going to have one battle.
You're going to have sinners. You're
going to have probably have Hamnet. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> You're going to have what else? What's
going to be the fourth and the fifth?
>> That's the big question.
>> I'd like to think Marty Supreme, but I
don't know. It doesn't seem like there's
a lot of below the line. enthusiasm for
>> huge Well, I mean, Fran Dresser's in the film.
film. >> Sure.
>> Sure.
>> President of
>> Well, yeah, that's true.
>> Um, divisive figure.
>> Exactly. I was like, I don't know
whether that, you know, helps or hurts.
But, but, but I meant in terms of the I
don't know that Marty Supreme is going
to get any of its supporting actors into
the supporting categories at this point,
which is surprising. And I think
probably not before the season started
we would have said either Gwennneth um
Paltro or once we saw the film Odessa
Zion but
>> I don't think
>> well you know I think because the movie
is a hit in in a similar fashion to A
complete unknown when that movie became
a hit
>> it became hard to ignore
>> Springsteen for example not doing well
this year kind of knocked it out of the
race entirely. It didn't get great
reviews either but I think the film
having continued success over the next
six weeks will be very helpful for
nominations. So maybe someone like
Odessa Zion gets in, but I don't know
about Marty and May not get in. Can a
movie like can a movie like The Secret
Agent or Sentimental Value get in? Like
what are the international features that
are getting in here? Last year Conclave
won this award over Anora which was a
little bit more of a character study.
>> Um the other nominees were Complete
Unknown, Amelia Perez, and Wicked.
Wicked for good could get in here.
>> I guess so.
>> It's very possible. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> I think actors like those movies. Is
Cynthia Revo going to be nominated for
an Academy Award, do you think?
Has she been campaigning?
>> Not too much.
>> I haven't. I mean, you know, she took a break.
break.
>> And I guess we'll see at the Academy
Awards. I mean, at the Golden Globes,
what happens
>> and whether she's back and whether she
puts on another push because this is
also nominations voting starts, I believe,
believe,
>> next Monday, right after the Golden Globes.
Globes.
>> Yes. Later this week, we will predict
every Golden Globe race.
>> Oh, great. But so I think if she's front
of mind the next two weeks, people will
probably be like, "Oh, she was very good."
good." >> Agreed.
>> Agreed.
>> Um but we'll see. >> 2026.
>> 2026.
>> Yeah. Films. They're making them.
>> So we each made lists. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I have a hundred honorable mentions. I
have honorable mentions broken into
multiple categories.
>> You do?
>> I love a list. I love to anticipate.
>> Yes. I love when I'm like, gosh, I hope
this is good.
>> It's my favorite feeling.
>> Yeah, actually that's not true. My
favorite feeling is ambitious swing at a
film that is gorgeously executed. That's
my favorite thing. >> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Second favorite thing is gosh, I hope
this is good.
>> Fair enough.
>> Just the way that it makes me feel
sitting down, a movie is about to start.
I've been thinking about it for months.
I'm ready for it.
>> It's a It is a very good feeling.
>> It's It's probably why I'm doing this,
honestly. So because you don't get that
feeling at the end of a movie often
>> three, four, five, six, seven times a year,
year,
>> right? But I mean that is a very
exciting one.
>> It's very nice.
>> Is it more exciting to you when it's a
film that you have been anticipating and
it lands or when you're just like, "Oh,
this is out of nowhere."
>> Surprise. There are exceptions. Once
Upon a Time in Hollywood, very memorably
was a moment when I could not have been
looking forward to a movie more and it
exceeded my my expectations. it I I
genuinely was just levitated when that
at the end of that movie that doesn't
happen often with something and you know
I loved one battle we talked about it
non-stop this year
>> um and it wasn't what I thought it was
going to be
>> but I was like of course
>> of course he did that you know
>> it's different when you don't see a
movie coming and that's harder I don't
know if there and this exercise kind of
>> eliminates that that opportunity like I
know too much I think I said this like a
year ago where I was like I've just read
too much. I watch too many trailers. I
know what movies are in production. I'm obsessed.
obsessed.
>> And I'll say to you now what I said to
you then, which is like that's a you
problem. Like you can fix it a little bit.
bit.
>> Or is it a me skill?
>> I guess so.
>> You know, does does it or does it not
power this show?
>> Right. But you also said that the best
part of your break was not any film that
you watched, but the feeling of not
watching films for work.
>> I'm a man of tremendous contradiction.
>> That is so true. You also put so many
movies on your list that I was just
like, well, there are like three movies
left coming out in 2026. I found some. I
made some of my own sublists. It's fine.
You know,
>> I haven't looked at your sub lists. I
Well, there were probably about five
titles that I knew you would want that I
that I didn't even have to think about,
just as I assume you think there were
five or so that I would be okay with. Do
you want to start or should I start or
and should we do honorable mentions
first rather than second? I that's way
too chaotic because some of your
honorable mentions are on my list. No,
we we just gota we got to do our list.
>> Okay, you go first. >> Okay,
>> Okay,
>> this is really I like what you've done here.
here.
>> I my my first slot are three films that
could be the best or the worst thing
that ever happened to me. and they set a
tone for Amanda's 2026, which is
I don't know if it's getting what I want
because I don't know if I ever wanted
this, but the the the fan service and
the sequelitis and the things you love
being important again that uh experience
that you've been having for the last 10 years
years
>> are coming for me.
>> Mhm. in The Devil Wears Prada 2, The
Social Reckoning, and Sense and Sensibility.
Sensibility.
Two sequels and a remake of three of my
most beloved films. Let me just say
right now, direct to camera, salute to
you, Bill Simmons. The Devil Wears Prada
is the number one most rewatchable movie
of all time. That was just, you know, I
sometimes I haven't even spoken to Bill
for a few weeks and then I'm just like,
oh yeah, Bill is my soulmate. That's
it's beautiful. Like I it's correct. We
didn't even have to talk about it. I
just I know I felt really seen. I am I
you know that Del brought it to could be
a total disaster. It really could.
>> It could.
>> And really well that doesn't matter to
me. I just I want to I want it to not
>> be embarrassing. I want to not slide in
my seat and be like, "Oh, no." Because I
love that original film very much. I
think it's very good, very smart. I
quote it all the time. the social
reckoning. I just I first didn't want to
put it on this list and then I hadn't,
you know,
>> I served it up to you.
>> You did. And I was like, well, if I'm
doing a thing about um being nervous
about ruining my favorite things, The
Social Network was uh the number one
list on our 25 for 25.
>> I I love that film. And I'm just really
nervous about Aaron Sorcin solo writing
and directing a film about Facebook
without Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg.
>> Do you genuinely think
that this movie could sully the legacy
of the first film?
I don't think so.
>> I don't think so either. But anything is
possible when people have internet
connections in 2026. You know, I mean,
the world's just,
>> you know, I think about this similarly
to the way that I think about the last
two Indiana Jones films, Kingdom of the
Crystal Skull, which Steven Spielberg
directed and The Dial of Destiny, which
James Mangle directed.
>> Some people would say, most people, I
think, would say Kingdom of Crystal
Skull is better. I'm a little bit warmer
on Dial of Destiny. They're both not
nearly as good as the first three films.
Not nearly.
>> He just I mean, when he has the chat
with Archimedes.
>> Yeah. Incredible. I love that part. They
should have stayed there. That's my
whole thing. Anyway, um those movies, no
matter how good or bad they were, they
never could have messed with my love for
Raiders of the Lost Arc. They they just
couldn't. It is unshakable. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> And so I don't
I don't think that this movie can damage
the social network.
>> I think it can do damage to Aaron
Sorcin's continued
>> reputation as a creative person.
>> I think you're right. And I think the
fact that it there is no repeating cast
is is a good thing in the sense that
it's just a separate something that they
tried. In many ways it's like the last
two seasons of the West Wing which you
know I've I have seen but
>> but we're without Aaron Sorcin.
>> Yes. And and and things devolve. Let's
just put it that way.
>> Got a great cast in this movie. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Right. Two Jeremies and a Mikey. It's
good stuff.
>> And then Sense and Sensibility is it's a
is a remake. Um directed by Georgia
Oakley and um Daisy Edgar Jones is
Ellanar and Esme Creed Miles is
Maryanne. Katrina Balf is Mrs. Dashwood.
>> Yeah. Hell yeah.
>> Sure. Uh Frank Delane as Willoughby. I listen
listen
>> Frank Delane terrific in Urchin.
>> Um oh and George Mai is in it as Edward
Ferris. So listen
>> pretty good. Good cast.
>> Yeah. But the
>> Daisy Edgar Jones.
>> Well that's Listen, she's very pretty. So,
So,
and I did I didn't see Where the Craads
Sing coming. I didn't see the end of it.
It got me. So,
>> Where are the Craads singing? One of the
worst films of the decade.
>> I But that was like one of my first
movies back from Knox Maternity leave. Okay.
Okay.
>> I think my parents were That was the
same the same trip where I saw Minions
the Rise of Git.
>> Hold it together. We got 75 movies to
talk about. Hang in. Hang on. I also saw
Where the Craads sing at also at my
hometown movie theater. It's horrifying
that Harris Dickinson is one of those
men is also just good.
>> It's okay. He made it out. They all made
it out.
>> Um I'm I'm nervous about all three of
these. I I just I'm nervous.
>> Uh I can't really speak to I think Dev
War is a very good movie. It's not like
one of my favorite movies of all time. I
don't really care about its legacy at
all. Um,
>> the social network obviously means a
great deal to me. Sensibility I like
quite a bit.
>> I It feels a little different
adaptations of centuries old novels to
me. Like
>> that's true. And the Austin rem like
there's always a remake or an adaptation
or an update of like one of the Austin
texts. Remember when we made you name
all six Jane Austin novels? Close. Yeah.
But you didn't remember Pride and
Prejudice. Um, I didn't.
>> Anyway, I I agree with you, but the Emma
Thompson sense and sensibility is a core
text for me. So, I just It's
interesting. Am I supposed to open my
heart to these? This is I've never been
in this position.
>> You're supposed to open your heart to
every new film that comes out. That's
the whole point.
>> That is not how I live my life.
>> I know it's not. You're a crazy person.
Uh my number 13 is The Bride. And I I I
share a similar unease, >> okay,
>> okay,
>> as your number 13 choices with The
Bride. On paper, The Bride is Maggie
Gyllenhaal's new film, her follow-up to
The Lost Daughter from Warner Brothers
from the Abdi Duca regime, right?
Starring Jesse Buckley and Christian
Bale in a modern black and white riff on
The Bride of Frankenstein.
>> Lot of lot of tic-tac-toe there for me. Yeah,
Yeah,
>> I am a little bit put off by the trailer
of this film and the behindthescenes
kind of production slash like testing
scuttlebutt of the movie for the movie
is not good. That doesn't mean I'm not
going to like it and I'm really
interested at least to see what it is.
It kind of got dumped in the March
window, but it kind of got placed in the
Jesse Buckley Oscar zone, right?
>> So, it's coming in a couple of months.
We're going to find out pretty soon
whether it works or not, but I'm very
curious because it's a collision of a
lot of things that I dick. It's in the
Mickey 17 spot.
>> It is.
>> And from and and in the same situation
from the same Warner Brothers, you know, executives.
executives. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I Maggie Gyllenhaal is not Bong
Junho, but she's a great director. I I
really liked the Elena Fonte adaptation
that she did a few years ago and it's
the same time window release and it's
kind of the same like behind the scenes
like Yeah.
>> So, we'll see.
>> I thought we could just hang the 13 like
>> Yeah. You have my attention but also my concern.
concern.
>> We we are anticipating them but what
what is the nature of the anticipation? >> Yes.
>> Yes. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh what is your number 12?
>> My number 12 is a little film called The
Rip uh starring Ben Affleck and Matt
Damon because
>> mom and moms and dads can have fun too,
you know.
>> Has anyone seen this film yet which
comes out in 10 days?
>> I watched a trailer this morning.
Honestly, it looks great. I mean, it's
just like it's like, you know, a xerox
of the town, which is a xerox of the
heat, but set in Miami. And there's they
don't even bother with a Rebecca Hall
character as far as I can tell.
>> But it's Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
staring at each other being like, are we
going to be good guys or bad guys? Some
other I was excited.
>> Yeah. It's like a narcotics cop heist movie.
movie. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I I would say also a slightly worrying
release date of January 16th on Netflix.
Not exactly encouraging,
>> fine, but like we can have fun. We can
enjoy silly things.
>> I hope it's great. Joe Carneahan
directed it. Uh,
>> Triple Frontier forever.
>> Some great Joe Carneahan movies in the
past. The Gray, probably my favorite of
his movies. Hopefully, this is really,
really good. Um, we will talk about it
>> and we will draft Matt Damon and Ben
Affleck movies.
>> Two movies at number 12 that also at
least one of them would have been on my list.
list.
>> Who could have taken them?
>> Well, that's not You just wrote 45,000
movies. Well, this is what I do. This is
literally what I do for a living is I
just write lists of movies.
>> Yeah, I know. And then you read them aloud.
aloud.
>> Well, what to to me I I really wanted to
put a spotlight on Prime Time, which is
Lance Oppenheim's new feature film.
Lance was a guest of the show a couple
of years ago for Renfair, his
documentary. He's only made
documentaries to this point. Three
really interesting documentaries. This
is his first feature for A24. It's a
kind of set in the world of To Catch a
Predator. and Chris Hansen, the host of
the show to Catch a Predator. And there
was a documentary about this earlier
this year called Predators that I have
cited on the show a couple times.
Uh, Robert Patson is playing Chris
Hansen or Chris Hansenike figure in this
movie. Not a lot is known about this
movie. Lance is an extremely creative
and uh, I'd say daring documentarian who
is constantly blurring the line between
truth and fiction.
to Catch a Predator was a show that
blurred the line between truth and
fiction where the they sort of set up
these sting operations to ensnare um uh
child sexual predators. Um and I'm
fascinated by what Lance will do. I know
Lance a little bit. So, but even even
given that like I think this is really
interesting. But when I was thinking
about this movie, which is sort of a
docky drama, sort of not, it did
>> get me thinking about Inc. Yeah.
>> which is sort of like the Bside to my
prime time wreck. I've only just
recently become aware of Inc. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> But Inc. is the new Danny Bole film
about Rupert Murdoch.
>> Right. And who is playing Rupert Murdoch?
Murdoch?
>> Who is playing Rupert Murdoch?
>> Guy Pierce.
>> Guy Pierce. Right. So,
um, Guy Pierce, legendary Australian,
just like Rupert Murdoch. Legendary Australian.
Australian.
>> Danny Bole came back like a [ __ ]
house on fire with 28 Years Later last year.
year.
>> He's incredibly good at movies like
this. If you've se seen Steve Jobs, you
know that he is like born to make these
sharp sharply scripted kind of like
biopic snapshots of powerful people at
critical stages of their lives. This is
about a younger Murdoch. It's not the
octagenarian that we know today and I'm
very interested in that movie. I don't
you never know.
>> Nanogenarian at this point. Okay, cool.
>> Do you can you please discuss the
supporting cast?
>> You're gonna have to remind me. Jack
Oonnell and Cla Foy in the in the Seth
Rogan and Kate Winslet pole positions. Like that's Listen, um,
Like that's Listen, um, >> you should have just grabbed it. You
>> you should have just grabbed it. You should have just grabbed it.

>> I did. >> It's fine. I I mean, I respect your list
>> It's fine. I I mean, I respect your list making, but I'm excited about this. It
making, but I'm excited about this. It is true that sometime Danny Bole is

reanimated John Lennon, you know, and >> could go either way. takes a lot of

swings. He's truly one of our most audacious mainstream filmmakers. Um, and
