Speaker 1: That's hell, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Sorry a little late on day opening there, my mic
was not working, but I am here. Travis told you
I'm your host. Travis told you now I'm just your host, Travis.
Some traus told you by'm your host. Travis. It's certainly
musing down now that I'm here, the GM Mode God,
Ladies and gentlemen, the GM Mode God. I talked about
this a little bit on side Quest, me and mister
Musk we talked about it, and oh it was a
glorious We've got lots of good things. As always going
to show what's going on here at Geek First. But
just this past weekend we finished our WW two K
twenty five stream, and man, let me just let me
guess out there for the live people here, let me
know live and I hope everyone is doing well on
this February tenth, two thousand and twenty five. It does
not show. It's some stuff. It's just such a pain.
It goes like someplace, someplace, It doesn't. I don't know.
I should meet that too. My discord thing's going off, Mike. Goodness,
social media, you never know what's gonna be happening. Let's
kill the music that's gone. Let's get rid of the
starting scene because we are live now, and yeah, today's
gonna be a little bit of a you know, people
said they want those evergreen topics. Well you're getting those
evergreen topics, ladies, jimen. You're getting those today and I
guess not tomorrow, and then soon in February, I will
be doing what is it? It's not shown up anywhere
on my phone, so that's or on my computer. That's
great U in February. I think end of February. I
have to take a look and see when it's officially starting.
But yeah, it's nowhere. Awesome, it's where What the fuck
is that? That makes no sense whatsoever? I don't know.
Can't share on social media whatnot? That's great? Open my video?
Does that count? No? Who knows? Social media is just
a mess. So I'm just gonna drop the live now.
My goodness, I apologize I've not shown up my stuff.
It's great stuff anyways, very great, unprofessional way to start
the podcast. But here I am very much. Let me
look into the future here because March Madness I think starts. Okay,
so it's not till March, but March I'm gonna be
doing my h March Madness where we're gonna put thirty
two actors together and I'm gonna make the list. I'm
still gonna probably take some input from you guys, but
I'm gonna make the list, and then you two are
all gonna vote on it, and you y'all two, all
you patrons are gonna vote on it until we're down
to the two and we're gonna crown who's the best
actor currently note of all time, because I don't feel
qualified for that. There's still tons of stuff that I
haven't seen, so we say currently and I think I'm
gonna put in like the last ten years. That's gonna
be the barometer performances, right like who nowadays still has?
Are they up to snuff? You know? So that's gonna
be lots of fun. And then later on this week
I will not be live on the Thursday. Thursday is
our after nine NFL Fantasy Draft Audition. So obviously it's
not for all the patrons like I guess you want
to join, but it's HiT's for the draft deel because
that's where you know the conversations. The fun is. We're
gonna be talking about the super Bowl. We're gonna talk
about the football fans that draft season. I get to
fucking dog on Kirklam big time. Even if you're not there,
if you're not a football fan, tune in for like
the first five to ten minutes where I just get
to roast Kirkland. I can't wait. I've been I've been
itching to do this, so I can't wait for that.
And then we're gonna talk about because all of us
there's different pools right of winners losers. We're gonna talk
about the prestige that was Maddie's pick. We're gonna talk
about tusks, Kirklelin' pick. Then we're gonna t about the replacements,
and I'll reveal why I chose that because I won
the playoff pool. Maddie has got so many pools going on.
But yeah, me and Dylan just did syde Quest yesterday,
which was fantastic. That's all the feeds right now. Check
it out. It's me and Dylan talking about a bunch
of stuff, but primarily Resident Evil six. We talked about
that over an hour. I said it already on that cast.
I could talk about that for hours. It's such an
interesting game, a game that I only played a little
bit but jumped off. So yeah, great side quest probably
my favorite sye quest, meaning don't have done in a minute.
The other stuff was good too, but just that brunt
to the conversation was good. And then tomorrow on the
schedule right now it should be weekly geek, we're gonna
seek us. Of course, this is how fucking goes right, unusual.
The show's an hour, So if you're Patren, you canna
ask question if you need to ask questions, not a Patreon,
then you goat it's in a super chat because I
only got time to steamroll through this, but I'll go
on this quick little rant here all the time. Like
next week we record, uh, the flashback episode. This is
all for Patreon content, right, and we try to do
some doubles back to back just because it's hard to
record them one day a week, so we do doubles. Right,
So we got the Resident Evil retrospective starting, so we're
doing the first live action movie in the first an
made movie, and then later on that week we're doing
the Dolph Lung Grind Punisher and then the flashback episode. Now,
if you're Patreon producer like Aaron Braiden, Apo, Darkness, Jack Rant,
Super Bad, Mike god Llows Me sixty nine, Ak Norms,
Vias Hidalgo, Lenny Kravitz, Cocktail, Clay John and no H
Sam Green and John with an m uh. If you
subscribe the stuff we record, you get it right away,
all the Patreon because all the other stuff, the Patreon stuff,
we have a whole year plan of Okay, you get
this episode this month, this episode this month. If you're
a producer, you just get it all right away. So
it's a huge perk right there. So next week you're
getting like four maybe five episodes. But those weeks, the
weeks where we're super busy, I guarantee you some massive
news will break. But like last week with Kirkling and Dylan,
or like this week with myself and Dylan, it's like
news is pretty light and there's like little room or stuff.
We can always talk about anything, but we try to
just like have at least something good a main topic
talk about for weekly week. So it's it's worth doing right,
especially even just numbers wise worth downloads, right. But that's
how we'll go. The weeks that were busy with doing
the group recordings, I'll have tons of news and trast
told you the weeks where it's weekly ate nothing like
especially this week, perfect time. I'm doing an evergreen topic
today and then Thursday. As I was saying, I will
not be live, I'll be. You'll get a Travis Told
You episode on the Friday morning, you know, late Thursday
night for Worthering Heightswitch. I will talk about here in
a second because Mike is a question. So yeah, it's
not gonna be live because I'm gonna be seeing that
later because we got the football after night, and then
after that I go see it and that's gonna be
late showing. And then I'm off Friday, so that's where
I'll be hanging out with the family because it's uh
here in Canada. I don't think this is America. In Canada,
we got family Days, so it's a four day weekend,
so I'll be hanging out the family. We do and stuff.
So I'm excited for that, and yeah, lots of good stuff.
If you like what we do is subscribe to Patreon.
We're putting more content out than ever get episodes ad
free early, four different tiers. Go check them out. Golden
Geek's voting will be starting soon, so we'll go for
that for the MC Awards and the regular Golden Geeks.
So there you go. Fine, there's two quick hits I'm
gonna pull up here. Both have to do with Mike.
One being Mike our patron and one being Mike Flannagan
because I almost had this in the news, but I
was gonna like skirt it because I was like, oh, well,
I want to do the movie. The main topic today,
the evergreen topic, is we're gonna look at the whole
schedule and kind of like I did for the Patrons,
you got my cast where I picked. You got to
see my method of how I picked my top ten
movies for the year. For Mike's draft, right, I'm gonna
do the same thing. But in the bomb thing or
even with the MC like top MC projects that walks
before Doomsday, it's gonna be like that. So that's where
for me, I'm going to take a look and see, Okay,
what is what has the potential? What's like a lock,
and then what has the potential? Mike, I saw you
said the list. I've not read the list. I'm not
gonna read it because I don't want to uh sully
my thoughts or everything like that uh when the entirety
of the first screen film will be screened uh or
stream tonight on TikTok on the screen movies. Wow, that's interesting.
Uh So what was I gonna say? Um, let's see
that's finally working that link my god Jesus wise. Yeah,
so I didn't have this because like, well, I want
to cover the the that kunos how long that could be.
That could be half an hour, that'd be twenty that
would be a full hour. But I'm gonna do two
things quickly here. Uh So at least I'll talk about
this because it's it's a quick hit originally had in
the the news where Mike Flannagan is doing Ausie's doing Exorcists.
Scar Johanson's lead of that, and then I had a
few conversation things but can't remember who is someone not
of note but someone that's done some stuff. But then
they've added Diane Lane, They've added Lawrence Fishburne, and there
was somebody else, but like, really good cast that's forming
up for the Exorcists. I think they'll make it stand
out that something the Exorcist needs because like, not only
was that last Exorcist movie not a good uh not great. Well,
wasn't a great movie. I actually didn't mind it. More like,
I think a lot of people like hated that movie.
I didn't hate it. I understood why some people didn't
like it. Oh did my chord survive? Okay? Good? I
bumped it. And sometimes it's the smallest like whatever, Oh
look at that. So here we go. I'm gonna loss
this news off the handle. Here the Mummy. Oh oh,
they're calling it a new Mummy right now? Releases May nineteen,
twenty twenty eight. Virgil main casts expect to return. Okay,
we got a date, so two years from now. Can't wait, right?
So what was this? What was the newest one? Twenty twenty? Fuck?
What was the newest to come out? Twenty twenty five?
I just want to the box office twenty twenty three? Okay,
it's already been three years since The Exorcist. My god,
like the newest one? That's crazy? That made what thirty
one hundred and three seven? It's still a hit. Though.
My point is that I think with a thing both
with Mike Flanagan and the Exorcist, it's like they need
a hit. Flanagan's film aography like I Loved Life as
Chuck or Life of Chuck. What was the other one?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I love Doctor Sleep Jerald's game, but I feel like
his the actual stuff. Doctor Sleep Life Chuck doesn't have
a great track record of succeeding, and the Excoris movies
like have an okay track record of succeeding. They both
need this, So I think this cast is formula really well,
why I'm talking about this because I was like, Oh,
I don't know if that's enough for a big juicing, right,
this just came out now, let's see, Okay, Frasier and
Wright Travis officially confirmed. Great Mike Flannagan is set to
write and direct a film and action of Stephen King's
The Mist for Warner Brothers story fallows a group of
town folk locked in grocery store after thick but sious
fog emerges that hide steadily creatures. So here's the thing
one if he's doing right now, he did the Carry Show.
I'm sure he direct an episode, but he's a showrunner,
or at least he's producing that for Amazon. He's directing
Acist and the announced this one. I guess I can
wait and see till Clay face. But James Gunn you
couldn't wait it like a little bit too, so we
could have got Mike Flanagan, right, you couldn't like to
direct that movie. You couldn't wait maybe another year to
get that happening. So that's one that's a strike against
DC and James. So you know, two, I think this
is a bad idea now because I see this all
the time with even Harry Potter, like even Carrie that
he's doing right now, right, it's like why remaking this?
We already got what? I get that right, And I
do understand. I understand. I understand a lot of people's
critiques on all of them right when it's like why
would you be making this? And then they go X,
Y and Z and I go, okay, I do understand
that portion. But what like like's there's always a new
audience that's gonna find it, and it doesn't take away
the old one. It's still there, it's still fun. Right.
The thing with this is the fog came out? When
did that fog come out? With Thomas Jane right, which
I think is actually a very good movie. I've not
seen it a long time or sorry or sorry the
Myss story the other way around, the mist that was
twenty and seven. Yeah, I remember being a very good movie.
I think I've only seen it twice. I do need
to rewatch it again. Maybe we do a retro for
that time there. I think they hit on a lot
of great stuff, right Paranora the I can't remember that
actress's name, but the whole religion storyline in there, there's
some great stuff and great performances too. I I don't
think Thomas Jane is a like an all star actor,
but I think he plays that role well. April saying
the Miss Rocks brutal movie, Yeah, I remember both those things.
Like I said, I haven't seen April probably at least
in like twelve fifteen years, which now before when I
used to say that, I'm like, oh, it's a whole
life being thirty three, And that's not even my whole life.
When I say fifteen years ago, it's just like after
I was like graduated high school. There's also very miss
TV show, very min miss TV show, right, Mike, I
forgot they did that. That seems like an odd I
could see how you'd kind of as like a mini series.
Maybe it was that bad even then, Like that's a
tough stretch, but I think the issue here is for me,
the if you've seen The misst everyone knows the movie
and they know the ending. I feel like The miss
is one of those movies that even if you haven't
seen it, you've probably heard of the ending, right. It's
to the point where Stephen King looked at and said,
and they changed the ending to something that is, like
April said, brutal and it's fantastic, like it is an
all star. I don't know if I could put up there,
but I think I could make a case for someone said, hey,
this is a top ten movie ending all the time.
I don't think I could fight you. I could be
like I could see all the cases because it it
it is not. It's just not heartbreaking. It's just a
very realistic ending. It's a full circle ending. There's multiple
things that are a full circle about it. It's a
crazy ass movie but also ending. And that's where to me,
it's like Katy said, oh, this is better than the book.
I don't think Flannigan's gonna do that ending. I just
feel like, and it's not one of those things too,
where the technology has advanced so much where it's like, Okay,
I guess you could see like the deadly creatures in
the mist, right, but that's not the point of the
mist at least for me. It was kind of what's
out there in the build up, But it wasn't like, oh,
we're gonna fight these things, right, So I just don't
see where they can go with Carrie. It was like
it's been a long time, effects I can see that
even as a TV show. I can kind of go,
I can see how that could work, and you could
flesh out some things, right because I like carry but
there's some things that are really sudden in that movie, right,
even to my you know, the lesser one with Harry Potter,
there's nothing you can do there. But then I can say, well,
that's money related, right, that's all my business cap of. Well,
they want to make a lot of money, and they
know if they remake the movies they'll probably go bad,
So let's do a show The Missed. I don't think
has a big enough audience that hey, it's gonna guarantee
us a bunch of money. So I don't know about that,
and I don't know what can be approved upon other
than like I said, sure, maybe you can get like
Tom Hidlson to play a dad. Yes, Tom Hidlson is
better than Thomas Jane, but Tom's Jane isn't bad in
that movie. That's the thing where it's not like, oh
it had a great ending, but the movie is so
so I've not watched in a while. I'm gonna take
April Mike's word and other people too. I just think
it comes up as like a very underrated Stephen King movie, right,
because I don't think it even did that amazing. I
feel like it was a very much a cult hit.
I feel like it went to DVD right away, like, yeah,
thirteen eighteen million, fifty seven million, so what they made
like probably a profit maybe, but still it's just like
if it is like a cult hit that you saw
after the fact, but even then, yeah, only fifty seven
Like now even breaking one hundred million, right, we just
talked about Exorcist, whatever, Deceiver or whatever, like that's making
one hundred and thirty seven, So it's interesting. I don't
think that's a good idea in my opinion of I
was this agent. It's like, I know, you love Stephen
King stuff, find something else. I just like I will
watch it. Don't get me wrong. I love Flannagan he's
one of my like for current day like this general
like maybe we'll do a March Madness next year of directors.
Maybe we will do that, but before the current generation
of directors easily one of my fair probably Mount Rushmore.
Right now, for the four the current be able to
have started, Like, I don't know. I'd have to look
at the era, right, I just don't know what can
be unless he does have some sort of different take
on it. Okay, we'll see, But even then, you can't
do this ending that. I just feel like a law
piper a gonna walk. I'm like, well, that was lesser
than right, And I feel like the only reason you
want to do a remake is you can do something
completely different or better then or money, right, And I
just don't know if the money is there for that.
So uh yeah, I guess we'll see. Well, he's doing
another project. Excited to see that cast, Like it's on
the nose. I wonder who they get for that religious lady.
You can't get the person that played Bev Keene. I
know that's the route to go, but oh, that's the
other person that joined ex Orsi. This is Chewtel. Fucking
love that Chewtel. Man, this last year really reminded me.
I feel like, after feels like twelve years, I don't
know what happened, twelve years of slave comes out and
who did he lose? Best acker to that was? That
was McConaughey, right, You could make a case I could
go for either one. Really, I think McConaughey was great.
I think Chewtail is also great. It's not like me
with its fast Bender versus Leto fast Bender should have
fucking took that like easily. In my opinion, I think
Level's performance is good, but not fast bet or good
where it's like and I get why he probably didn't
win because that it is a tough performance and it's
a it's a there's no simply what thesoever for the
slave owner. But he makes you hate this fucking guy
so much like a top tier like you're gonna hate
me after this moviemans, you know, and letos to me,
It's like it was good. There's some heartbreaking stuff there,
but I don't think it was Academy War worthy. But anyways,
twelve years later happened and he true tells the thick
guy that's been around in a bunch of stuff and
then that happens, and it felt like, Okay, he's gonna
blow up in a bunch of stuff. He did blow
up in a way of like he was a lot
more mainstream stuff, but not in the way that I won, right,
Doctor Strange, kid, that made senses like a step but
ven some of these other movies, I don't know, man,
but last year him being in Life of Chuck. He
was great in that, and then he was also like,
I'm a big defender of this movie two years ago,
Bridge or was it two years ago or was it
last year? I think it was, Yeah, it was last year.
Bridge Jones Diary, the fourth one, Like it's not as
like roll On comes you think, like there's some heart
in there, there's some cheese in there. But he's really
good as this like teacher who like he's dated, he's
trying to date Bridget Jones, and it's obviously a difficult
situation because she's lost her husband, so it's just back
and forth. She's also her son's teacher. So but he
just brings like a lot of like heart to that
role and he's really good. Mike kind of waste them,
absolutely waste them. I even think in Doctor Strange that
role is not even media enough for chewtail Edge of four,
Like if it was, this is the interest I thought
it was. And even then, right you look at Loki,
you could argue, hey, Thor is gonna be your introduduction, Tom,
and then you're gonna be in Avengers. You're gonna be
in Thor two. Oh great, but Thor is a great
Like that's a fantastic performance and role for Tom Hitdelson,
Chew Italian. Uh, doctor Strange is like, it's fine, right,
a lot of things. That's why I know people have
Doctor Strange high. I don't because there's that. That's fine.
The madd and Nicholson stuff is fine. Performances are good,
but they just kind of waste them. I think it's
just trippy people like Benedict and there's a cool twist
the end. So I get that, right, that's fine having
your top ten do whatever you want. But for me,
this is a guy that has whether it's his choice
or again, yet what you get right, there's sometimes people
just don't book you for stuff, and if he's just
doing what he can get, then that makes sense. I'm
just happy to see him in some things, and I
would love if he becomes a flanagin guy. He could
be the fucking lead in the mist, Like he could
be the dad, right, he could be do a phenomenal
job of that. So tcheetel edge of four. Yeah, I
really love that actor, and I'm excited by that. I
just don't think he's a pretty solid scar too. Yeah.
I barely remember, Mike. I'll take your word for it.
I watched that line King movie once and then I
left it. B But you know they should Why didn't
they let him sing? Be prepared? I'm still hung up
on that. But uh, and then Mike asked me, and
Mike he did ask these two questions, like I said,
or his list for the box office, I'm not gonna
look at that yet because I'm looking after the fact.
I don't want to have anything. Uh, same way, I
didn't look at like people's top tens big time in
the draft. I didn't want to be swayed too much.
I saw like one thing on your list, Mike, I'm like, okay, yeah,
I definitely had that too. Let's see here. Of course,
gonna show me that where is this thing here? All
my social media stuff sucks today, It's just like it's
loading in a weird way. Even now, it's not even
like bringing up like that's odd. Let's see here. Uh yeah,
so Mike, you asked, uh, with reviews and reaction Worthing
Heights are, what are your final expectations for the movie?
What is it? Sinnett Rondo meals last time I saw
it was like a seventy Right, let's take a look here. Yeah,
still seventy. What's the reviews though? How many is reviews?
Eighty six? So it's probably gonna bounce around there. What
are my expect I hm, because with those reviews it's tough.
I'm not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing.
I'm just saying I know I've already seen a bunch
of this adaption is don't give a shit about that. Like,
I get it, but that's the point of adaption. If
you want the full adaption, read the book. I think
it's different too when it's something that's never been done before.
There's lots of versions of Worthing Heights. It's what I
talked about with that trailer when people are meming on
like this isn't this look how sexualized it is? And
Charlie XX is doing the the album, like they're all
like there's so many fake outrage posts about when Australia
came out of Like this is not Warthering Heights. Yeah,
you know why because if they just made war, then
Heights strap that move would fucking bomb. If I was
talking about my top ten movies that could bomb into
the twenty six worthing, Heights would be there depending on
the budget.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: But if let's say it was the same cast Margo
Jacob and then Emerald who like gets a pretty penny
as a fucking Oscar winner, now it's gonna be a
bit more pricey. It's gonna bomb. You need the lush,
you need the lavish, and I want this. There's I
think it was just a couple of years ago. I
think that was it. I can't remember. I was gonna
say Florence, but then I thought it was maybe Emma
McKay somebody of note, like did a TV miniseries or
something like that. And it's like it's there, Like there's
so many it's like the honesty, right, but the same
thing why I don't care, Like I just learned about
this too, the whole like fake outrage about Lapeta Nawonga
playing some character that I guess has been white in
the honesty, which is like, I don't know mythological the
word is there's the word is myth in the fucking
like lineage. I don't give a shit, you know, even
to a degree that's not as bad like when Mike
and Clay bringing the languages. I understand that as a
bug like if that doesn't bug me, like the whole
Apedio thing's not gonna bug me at all, Like that'st
thing where it's like the no one's gonna do his
Nolan stuff with the Ossy so people actually go see
the Odyssey. Emerald's gonna do her Emerald stuff to go
see that, right, I do expect, though for me it
probably to rank third at out of them, because I
know April said she young gonna see in theater. She
brought up a point I don't know if I agree
it's gonna be that way. But when she says she
doesn't like the very old age Victorian to be loved movies,
But not me either, I'm not a fan of that whatsoever.
Like private preduice anything here Knightley's doing, that's not my
bag either. Yeah, they'll repedia controversies don't. Yeah, it just
people being fake like Madles stuff. Right, But it's like
if no one wants to do that, I'm gonna trust
no I'm gonna trust no one whatever he does, because
I want, like I said before, I want to see
Nolan's Odyssey. I don't want to see the Lost see
Nolan's Aauscy. The same thing with I think they've been smart.
They could have hit on this more than them saying
like this is Emerald Fenil's interpretation of the book instead
of adaptation. I think that's fun because I think we've
all read stuff, and I think it's almost like it's
a nice way of saying it's her fan service of
the book, right, or like fan fiction of the book.
And that's fine. Like again, that's what this movie is tracking,
what it keeps going up. At first, it was like, oh,
twenty twenty five, that's thirty and that's like thirty five
to forty five. That that's a good thing for movies.
This is a radar like romantic drama too, right, So
I but I do expect that it might be my
third ranked. And I think it's tough because Saltburn promising
a woman, promising a woman is a better movie than Saltburn.
That is the better one. That is her best movie.
That she's only ten to two. But like that I
can say is to me a great movie. I get
there's some people have issues with it, but I don't Saltburn.
I definitely understand people's issues, and I can understand more
like a negative score with promise you know a Woman.
I think that's more of just a you know, like
the choice that happens with a Cassidy and that's a
personality thing that like, that's just what it comes down to, right,
where Sultburn does have things, some things you could check
against it, right, But I would rather watch Saltburn more
than Processing Woman because it's a fun movie for the
most part. Right Promisting Woman can get very heavy. But
a great performance by Kerry Mulligan, I don't know if
I see. I think this is gonna be a great
performance for a Lordie, which is great because in Sulburn
he is great, but it's not He has to kind
of be the straight man to Barry's, you know, the
punchline guy, right, he has to kind of sell for him.
So I think it's gonna be fun to see Emerald
giving him, uh that get like the salt the salty
seductress role. What I'm expecting if this movie and I've
given both Emeralds movies a ten Mike, so that's high stage,
like high standard. If this movie is a seven, I'm happy.
I don't know about the chemistry. I've said this before.
It's like the same thing as like like I haven't
seen it completely yet in these trailers. I'm not saying
it's gonna be bad, but it just hasn't even felt
like Jacob Lordi and Barry had more chemistry based on
the trailers, right, Like, I don't know. I know some
people in some reviews talk about them being miscasts. I
know people said that with Margo, and again it's it's
such like a dicey role to walk like Margo is
still a young woman, She's still a fucking you could say,
is she's the most gorgeous woman in the movie. Yes,
I would argue that Wolf wall Street is one of
those Hey, has anyone look better in a movie? No
than her? But the idea of like this person is
supposed to being a very young kind of doe eyede person,
it's it's tougher when not only it's not I don't
even think it's her age for people. I think it's
because she's been around for a while now, right, it's
like that should maybe been a new young starlet. But
if I watched the movie, the chemistry's there, that's not
gonna matter. I'm looking for the visuals. I'm looking for
some Emerald crazy stuff. I'm looking to feel the love,
you know. So that's what I'm expecting my cause it's
a seventy kind of around there. I think I could.
I bet it will have a scene that I could
love and that could bump into an eight and maybe
I'll be a tenor maybe. Because again, my scores are
based off of a bit of critique but then also
a bit of just enjoyment and that together, right, those
scores are different. So I'm still excited. I don't really
care what anybody says. Like even this is the thing,
like with Emerald Finnel, I still think one day she's
cooking a movie that's gonna get a solid twenty to
thirty percent or a tomatoes. But I feel like with Emerald,
with her style, even if I don't love it, I
feel like I'm always going to enjoy something about it.
So yeah, I'm I'm pretty confident I'm gonna like it,
but we'll see. Super Mic says that it makes people
who have legitimate hesitations look bad for the ossee one
hundred percent right, because you all kind of get lumped together.
And I didn't mean alump you guys together. I was
just using for my example of like adaptation stuff doesn't
bug me, right in that sort of sense of okay,
and wathering Heights they're gonna be they're gonna be fully
naked and are rated sex scenes that's on in there, right,
there's these big visuals and these locations and these outfits,
big strawberries that's not in there. That's fine, I think
where you come to and saying in odesty, right, like
I don't care about the voice, I don't care about
the look. Sure for voices that be different. I think
for me it's more different when it's like you adapt
with whorling Heights and the aunesty, and even then too
it's with something like little stuff like Batman and Long Halloween,
the animated stuff, right, And I'm example of that where
I think that's a really bad adaption because they do
certain changes and they're not for the better. I understand
in the MC or DCU when they adapt it, it's like,
we can't do this one for one because we got
a universe. When you're just adapting in an animated form
or like killing Joke, right when you adapt it and
you make changes, and they're much worse like to me,
and I get some people might be feeling that with
Whorling Heights. I just say, like, there's so many versions,
why are you feeling this right long Halloween. I don't
want adaption along Halloween and I again that for a
long time again, and that movie not good for multiple
assets in my opinion. So yeah, we will see. But yeah, no,
I know you guys are the same there I get
and again completely fine critique. We all have different things
that we go. Ah, you know this does bug me
for X, Y and Z right, so and same thing.
People could say the exact same thing, and I think
I'm better with it now. People could have said the
exact same thing about me in twenty sixteen when I
saw jar Lettl's Joker. You got Mark Hamill, you got
Jack Nicholson, you got Heathledger, you got so many adaptions.
This is something new. I get it. But for me
when I saw that discussed, and you know, it was
worse the performance discussed like that was the look. Okay,
I could even you're gonna listen to podcasts before that
I got over. I was like, okay, I will deal
with the look and see what we're gonna do here.
Even if anything, you could just take it off the damage,
which the director admitted, we went too far. That was
a mistake. We all fucking knew it the second we
saw that photo. Everyone knew it was mistake. But I said,
Jared Letto's a good actor, He's Academy Ward Wing actor.
I still think he's gonna be a good joker, and
I was actually still fine with it when he got cast.
Then the performance happened awful. But you could say the
same thing, right, Travis, you got so many jokers. But
that bugged me the same way, Mike, like the voice
thing might bug you the same way for worthing heights
if it is people being very seductrous or just very
over the top. Emerald Fennel like almost present day stuff.
I get like that. I understand the bear ones are
and that's where it is tough. They try to skirt
it when they're like hey, in the books they describe
Jacob ELORDI like the characters like like dark skinned, right,
and it's like Jacob Lordi is not that, And they
went with the oh well again, it's Emerald's interpretation that
I understand more. If you say, hey, this could have
went to an actor of color, fuck this, I don't
care if it's interpretation, fuck this. I get that, right.
I don't have the same hold to the book, but
I do understand because that is a form of whitewashing.
And if you think I'm a bad person for watching movie,
then I guess I'm sorry. Then I'm a bad person
in your book. I just want to see it because
of the Emeral Finel movie. Like I whether this was
original or not, Like I'm a fan of that director, right,
And I don't think it's I think it's a bit
careless and I think it's a bit foolish. But I
don't also think I'm gonna go like with the pitchforks
to think like all Emerald Fennel terrible person, you know,
cause there's a situation where this movie doesn't mean mean
get with Jacob Alordy, you know, like without him or
some other people and don't get wrong. Maybe we'll get
another person of color to be that star, but you
gotta just make sure their star value is as big
as a LORDI, right, and a LORDI is on the uprise,
so we'll see. But yeah, look up from my review there.
All right, let's get in this. We got about forty
minutes to break this down because I went too long,
and that's why I did not even put the flag
on top, being because I knew Tras would talk too long,
and of course I did. And then the chat sools here,
which we want to talk about. So here, I'll quickly
go down this list because I was just curious. This
is not like a for sure thing, but I just
want to bring up what were the biggest bombs or
flops of last year. This is from the BBC, so
I'm just gonna go and I feel like this is
a good way to do it because lots of these
movies we don't have the actual budget for them, right,
So to me, it's gonna be what it's gonna be
most of the bigger movies, and it's gonna be a
I gather the budgets this and I don't think it's
gonna make that much of a profit. There could be
something like I doubt what happened. But let's say I'm
not even saying Supergirl's on this list. Let's say Supergirl
comes out and I think it's gonna make three hundred
and then they're fl oh, well, actually it's only thirty
million dollar budget. Well, then it's not a fucking flop. Right,
So there's some things I'm not gonna know. It's just
gonna be in retrospective. What does poorly or underperforms? Right?
But BBC listed as a top ten, and I think
this is like a combination seemed mostly box off of
some opinion based but a bit of both more box
off of thing, but number ten the Smashing Machine. I
just want to even see what that budget was, and
I would say that's where it was kind of like
a flop, right, because let's see that was uh oh yeah,
budget fifty million box off of twenty one, absolutely like
even critically what they wanted. So that definitely yes, uh
Megan two, yes, Elio, Yes, Springsteen. What was the Springsteen
budget there? Because again, like to me, like a movie
that breaks hmm, well I guess that depends. It depends
what I was gonna say, a movie that breaks even
to me, is not a a bomb unless it is
like a a very expensive movie, because then the market's
gonna be even more. Right. But Springsteen, that was what? Yeah,
budget fifty five only made forty five, So okay, I
know what you did last summer, same thing. What of that?
I didn't know the budgets of some of these So
and that's where sometimes these bombs or these flops aren't
even the ones we think about. Just like last week
when I talked about like that, the year's Smile came
out as one of the most profitable. No, like see
on this list. I get it. The budget's eighteen million,
they made sixty four. It could have been bigger. I
know you did last summer, but I don't know if
i'd put in the top ten. Christy, Yeah, that kind
of ate it. After the hunt, I think critically, Yeah,
that that definitely ate it. Any I think in box
office wise Mickey seventeen, Yes, that was snow White, Yes,
Thunderbolts Yes, And then they didn't have this list. I
probably would kick out I know what you did last
summer and do Tron that was another big letdown, Right,
So what I'm gonna do is I will bring them
up once I have them. But I'm gonna go down
all the movies. I'll tell a little a break here,
take a drink of water, and then we'll beat right back. Ah,
we're back, We are back. So let's do this right now.
Let me use my mouse, because now I don't know
what it is. I don't know if it's this new Mac.
I don't know if it's because my day job. Legitimately,
if I use the touch pad of my Mac for
too long, my this starts to like maybe it's old.
Are there my point of fingers starts to hurt. I
think it's because I've just used it too much. But
we'll see so January honestly, like I'm not gonna include
it now, but like what is We didn't do the
box office today? And that's fine, Like nothing too. I
sent hell was number one, doing good lung like I
don't love me another six million? That's great. Still want
to see it, but I don't think i'll get a
chance to do this week, so I'll have to wait
the VOD. But let's see here, sixty three made fifty six. Yeah,
like I'm not gonna retroactively put that in there. But
and I wouldn't have said that. I still thought it
was gonna break maybe a high hundred, maybe fifty million less.
That is a bomb there, So let's go past what
we've gone right now. Obviously some of these strangers as
a bomb. But let's see Worthering heights. No krad won one,
no like for his budget and if if if I
can't make a list, I'm gonna come back around. Okay,
so let's put bombs. Obviously the budget of this is
but how to make a killing could potentially be there
because I saw that trailer and I'm excited. I like
the cast, but uh, I don't know if that's gonna
like produce. Let's see, how do we go killing? They
got a budget for this yet? Let's see here nothing yet?
So I just because that to me is like if
it's like a big budget, then I put it there.
Likely not gonna make the list, but we'll see. Let's see.
Uh Mike says, I think tron Aries and so are
the biggest number wise, Yeah, I think so for last
year for those lists, I'm kind of surprised people don't
like that liston't have tront Aries, but uh yeah, I
think money wise, the percentage that did do that, So,
uh scream seven As much as people might think, I
think it's what right now tracking for it's like second
biggest opening all time. We've only gotten one trailer. It's interesting.
I guess the words are worried about like spoiling stuff
and what to show. So they still got really soundthing else, right,
that's out in seventeen days, like my tickets are on sale.
But no, I don't think so. I think those relatively
have like smaller budgets, right, this is one Unfortunately, I
think it's gonna be in the top ten. I just
don't see it pulling numbers even if she wins the
Oscar The Bride. I think that there's a budget out
there rumor right, movie budget. There's been rumors of, yeah,
eighty to one hundred million. The first the most like
post that for that is how the hell did Maggie
dee holl get one hundred million for The Bride? Don't
get me wrong. Yeah, screams like gona bomb. That's where
That's where it's just like people are in a we're
in a bubble, right, And I get that. And I'm
not saying if you there are films and TV shows
that I don't like fucking rush Hour for right. I
love Rush Hour to Russi Hour one. I like Russiur three. Man,
if it was not the situation what was happening right
now with Rattner and that whole crew, I would be
there seeing rush Hour four in the theaters. That's just
one too far with Brett Rattner. Where I go I
and going wrong. There's probably tons of other talent directors.
There are pieces of shit that we don't even know.
Look at all those shit that's come out the last
couple of weeks, and that's where it's like, But if
I actively know this guy, Brett Ratner, and what he's
done and what people have admitted to and what he's
mid to, I can in good conscious pay to see that, right.
And That's where I'm saying with this. There are a
lot of people that I've seen saying that about Scream,
But I don't think I think that is a bubble
thing with Rush Hour four. I don't even know if
it's a bubble thing. I just don't even if you
are gonna see rush Our four, right, like that thing
where Scream, it's a franchise. Sydney is back they're gonna
bring back to these other people. I think it's still
horror movies fair like better now. It's funny enough, like
smaller ones, right, But yeah, that's just a bubble be like.
I'm not gonna see be chause Melissa, that's fine. I'm
not gonna if anyone's not seeing it because Melissa, great,
you do your thing. I'm still seeing it for the review,
and I'm still seeing it because I'm Here's if I
wasn't podcasting, if it was awfully reviewed, i'd maybe like
just v O D it, but unfortunate. I do love
the screen franchise. You know, I got a daughter named
after Sidney Prescott, So yeah, screaming like it. But The
Bride eighty one hundred million is not even gonna make
that like that movie. I'm excited for it. I love
Christian Bale, He's spoiler. He's on the fucking list for
the thirty two March Man as actors. There's no way
including Bail. I do consider Bail. You know, it's my
limited knowledge. You're not seeing everything. But when you ask
me this grace a whole time, it is Christian Bale.
I think he just has the like the the catalog
to back that up. So I'm excited. I will be there.
I'm seeing Maggie Jillen Haws The Bride. I guess unless
it's like a twenty part like if it's big time
ron and people are saying bad shit, but I'm gonna
be there. I don't think it's gonna be that. I
just don't even know if that movie can make a
hundred million. You know, Hawper's is out that weekend. I
think that's gonna do well right now, it's what tracking
what a fifty to sixty. I think it's gonna do
better than Ilia's, So I think that could be a
breakout hit with the animals and the talking so the Bride,
I think, unfortunately, it's a contender for now. But let
me start making my list. I like, I don't see
how like I don't know, like I don't see that
being properle I just don't see. It's a weird type
of movie. And to me, that's fine. It's like Lisa
Frankenstein or what that's what it was called. Right, that's
a weird movie. But what did Lisa Frankenston have as
a budget? Lisa Frankenstein and I love Lisa Frankston. Let's
see so that had a budget of thirteen million. That's
where in a box office nine damn. But I loved
that movie great time. That's where sometimes these very weird movies.
That's why I'm gonna have the lower budgets eight to
one hundred million. I'm glad for the filmmaker that happened.
If you're asking me why I'm making this list, though,
is it on it? I think unless I can find ten,
I think that's an absolutely on there. Let's see reminders
of him. No undertone. No, uh, here's another one. Tayre's
not gonna like this. It's not for sure on the
list Project tail Mary. I talked about this in the
Super Bowl one. I don't want to be that people
have said good things. I like Lord Miller, I love Gosling,
you know, not that he needs me to like pay
I mean, he's fine, but like, I want to do
well because it's supposedly a great original story. So let's
get a great original story in the box office. Right,
but like what happened. Uh, let's see box office Mojo.
Let's see actually looks some of the numbers. Numbers. Let's
do a quick because this will help me with the
list overall as well too. Twenty twenty five Biggest Movies.
I don't know. When you're on the spot typing sometimes
you're just like, what can my brain conjure here? Right?
And I can think that does good? Yeah, because I
go to the here. Okay, So let's see what is
Let's see in this decade? What's original in the top ten?
NISA two No, sure, I'm sure NISA one was, but
still sequel. Right, So no Utopia, no After Fire Action,
no Leland Stitch, no Minecraft, no Jurassic World, no Demon Slayer,
know how to Train Dragon? The f one I'm gonna
say no, that's backed by a huge billion dollar corporation
brand maybe trillion. No, and Superman. Okay, So nothing original
in the top ten. And I've been saying top ten, right,
I'm just saying as far as it doesn't have to
be top ten, be successful, but still, and I actually
think it has a pretty big budget. Twenty twenty four
Inside Out Too, Deadpool wanted to just spickle me, Wicked, Mufasa, Dune,
Kung Fu, Pana, Sonic, No, I'm gonna go. Twenty twenty
three Barbie Mario Oppenheimer Oppenheimer is like the closest you
can get, right. I think we've talked about before because
I remember saying that's the closest you could get. Original
movies don't always Mike you hit. You literally took the
words from my mouth. So I'll give Mike the points there.
Project out Mary could be Mickey seventeen or twenty twenty six.
That's exactly where I was going. Is I just like
this original space concept. I've said this too with output
it on the list right now would disclosure day. I
don't know if that's gonna pull it either. I brought
this up with Dylan where it would have been a
massive deal, all these aliens and all this stuff going
on like maybe ten fifteen years ago. Now it's like
people don't give a shit about aliens like and I do.
But like stuff comes out about like real life aliens
and UFOs, they like, okay, cool, and they move on
to the next TikTok. It's like we would have killed
for that information, right, So I just don't think like
it being like it's one of the greatest stories of
this deck at this time, I doesn't cut it anymore now, right,
And like Ryan Goslin's not like box office proof. You know,
sure he was in Barbie, but that was Barbie. Look
what happened when he was in a fall guy? Right,
So that's where I think there's a good shot. And
it's Amazon, so there'll be fine, right, they don't need
the money. But like if we're just looking at what
success stories are and what people will make going forward,
I don't know even then, Like let's look at the Martian,
very different time, right, but I just want to see
what the Martian made. Yeah, eleven years ago, Christ eleven
years ago out that was yeah, like no fucking way
budget one hundred and eight million, box office six thirty
not a chance. That is crazy, just even eleven years
where I would still count like a book, like in
that sense, like an original ip. Crazy just eleven years
ago like that made you know, six hundred, like four
hundred million away from a billion. Not happening here. I
don't think you can redo that. That's good for the
Martian though, but I hope I'm wrong. That's lower on
the list, but I think it has potential. Let's take
a look here, what's next. I lost my place, Okay,
Mario Galaxy, that's on the lit No Mario Galaxy's fine
the drama the drama, depending on how much it costs,
it shouldn't cost much. But if it's one of those
like Anie movies, like I joked about it with Dylan,
but like a complete Unknown and Mario Supreme within mean
like seventy plus million, it's like anytime Timmy's around, you
get a higher pricedayay, So if it's the drama, could
be honest, I don't think so. But uh, same thing.
This is like what was the budget for Evil Dead Rise?
Because I'm looking at Lee Cronan's the money and I'm
seeing what we're dealing with here. Fifty to nineteen million,
I doubt that. I think even Lee cron Is, The
Mummy will still be like fifty to sixty million, like
a profit, maybe even forty to the thirty the least,
so it could be just a break even, but I
think it will still be okay and not like destroy
the studio, right. I think they're making it for a
good amount of money. Not water. I saw that the
Wars deep Water is gonna say that, Michael. I don't like,
here's the thing right, because I know people have taught
like dylm was in that camp. I don't think there's
a chance that it bombed. I think I've said before
that I think six hundred million is like the minimum.
I could be wrong. Maybe I'm overshadowing this big time,
but I think that is the mini in a moment,
I think if you were to tell me five hundred, sure,
maybe I could get there. I still think it's higher.
I did put lower in my top ten movie predictions
because I just want to play it safe. But yeah,
we'll see. Let's see. Uh God is God? Oh and
this has going on list for show. I talked about
this already check in multiple things cheap plug for our
super Bowl cast. If you didn't listen to that. To
me and Dylan, the main topic was is man lowering
in a bomb? I am in this camp. I am
in the camp that I think now whenever it's getting
that thunderbolts Brave New World thing. I think that trailer
was very fine, but no one talked about it in
the movie sphere. This has been made a joke. Now. Granted,
Brent and RGA Chapman point, like all of us are,
he didn't feel as bad because like all of us
are already seeing it, right, I've said this before. If
I didn't have kids, I would not be seeing this.
I let the boys review this. This does not look
good to me, even some of the images they show.
It's like this is like vision does not look good
but for me, And then I count with Okay, if
that teaser aweso, it's not for us, right because we
know it's coming. Who's it? Four? Like? Who did that sell?
In a five hour broadcast where you're hit with ad
after ad and bad boonie and the football, all the stuff,
the trophy presentation, Sam Donald, congrats, Kirkland, suck it. Are
you gonna remember the Clydesdale spoof Mando thing? I don't
think so. I I think I'm not. I'm gonna say
it's d A on uh for a blockbuster, because you
might say, if if I see Manilarns d A, You're
gonna be like, oh, it's trams, like you think it's
making like one hundred million. No, I'm saying for a blockbuster,
I think it's DA. I don't think it's having the
poll And as I brought up before, I think all
those cute things like oh, grogu, that's gonna go to
Yoshi my man like Yoshi's gonna suck up all that
cute money from the kids. So yeah, I think Mando's
gonna bomb, And I think it's going to be a
very interesting situation. And I've said before I still could
see it even any six million or being a prophet.
I'm not a I'm not one hundred percent locked, but
now I'm at like a seventy five percent. It's happening,
especially too if that comes out and it's reviewed very
like malely that that I'm boost But I'm saying to
seventy five, Yeah, I'm thinking Manuin Rogu, who's gonna bomb
for what they want to Granted, I'm not sure what
the budget is. I think the last few seasons were
more expensive, but I think they're just putting this out
of Hey, we'd make no money from this or no
extra money from this on Disney. Plus, let's get people
like myself to pay for it extra that already have
Disney Plus, that's interest to make money the real Like,
this is a test, but the real test is also Starfighter, right,
but you know this is still a test because if
this does well, then they'll keep making more of these.
If it does poorly, then that's gonna change a law
of the landscape. So uh, Master of the Universe. Yeah, uh,
don't get me wrong. I don't know what the budget
is of this, We don't know, but I I think
Master Universe. I think I talked about it a couple
of weeks ago when me and Taylor were talking about
the TRUSTe told you, I think it's just that it's
of a bygone era. As much as hey, good for
the Muppets can watch by over three million on ABC
and Disney Plus, that's great. I watched, me and the kids.
We enjoyed it. But I can fully admit that lost
people in my age don't fucking care with the Muppets, right,
I still do. I don't. I've not anyone my age
in person in real life that cares about he Man.
And I have a wide strike zone of friends like
that that were from high school and after fact, no
one cares about he Man. And I just don't think
that youth is gonna care about he Man. We're not
gonna maybe the older generation, but I think it's being
proved now that look at iron Lung and other stuff
that minecraft the younger dation, Like there's this kind of
idea of Oh, you know, the young people, they don't
appreciate cinema, that could be true, but they still go
out to it. I think we're seeing more and more
statistics that older people are not the ones going to
the cinemas. And if that's the case, that's primarily fan
based of he Man. I I'm pretty locked on this list,
but I think it's gonna be there and right now
on my lists, I don't have anyone that's bumping off.
This is a potential one, and I don't love putting
it on here. But is Scary Movie six?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: I need to look at Naked Gun's budget because I
think it's still made a profit. But I think it
was still like a very tight area actually not too bad.
But even like okay, so forty two million budget then
one hundred and two billion box office, you double that,
maybe made like a small profit. I just don't know
how spoof movies are gonna go. Yeah, plus a Jared
Leto curse, absolutely if they show his face and marketing,
it's over for he Man. So Scary Movie six is
definitely a contender. It's not for sure on the list,
but I could see us in a universe where it
doesn't perform, especially too if it doesn't, if it doesn't hit,
whether it's not if it because there's like they're walking
a tight rope here, right, because those original scary movies
check out for the producers, we have the Scary Movie
commentary track on there now it will drop in June.
For everybody else on the phase three and up to here,
there's some data defensive stuff in there, right, But then
there's also some stuff where it's like, oh, are they
gonna sanitize it? So it's like it's you gotta please
two crowds of the people that want to parody and
just everything's off the limits, but also like you still
gotta update it a little bit. Where's some stuff in
that scary movie you couldn't do because it was maybe
punching down. I think why the scary movies I used
to watch them pretty much fine that it is because
I think they kind of punch down at everybody, from
orientation to white to black to money situations. I think
they just go for the throat, right, But there's some stuff,
if you were to say probably one in particular, like
the dew Week character, it's like, yeah, that's something that
might not fly even if there's some funny moments, it's like,
that's tough. So I could see a lot of people
I don't care about this. I think it also depends
on the franchises they're spoofing. I think that plays a big,
big role and do the success of this. But I
think people have seen a lot of bad spoofs, right,
So that's that's tough thing. So scary movie could be there.
I will put this there too. I don't like doing it.
Super Girl. I don't think it's for sure on my list,
but it's that's a contender right now. I got I
think my five locks and then two contenders. Let's see
millions of monsters, which is weird they're not having those
three minions be the main characters anymore. But I digress. Oh,
I guess not Evil dead Burn. I was gonna put
that there. I think Evil dead Burn is just gonna
underwhelm if they don't move it. I think it's gonna
not hit the heights of because what the other one
was like one hundred million, right, I just search this
Evil Dead Rise. Let's see one hundred and forty seven
on a fifteen nineteen. I still think now Grant I
guess it could have like a twenty years later situation,
just completely drop off. But no, I still think it
could do better in other places, and I think they're
setting up for failure there. But I still think it'll
make a profit because I think they're making these movies
for cheap, which they should, right, Super Troop or three,
I think that has to be a cheap movie, right,
So I think they're fine. Here's another one for how
much it costs, And again I will be there because
I am a fan of the stuff. The girls are
a fan and I said this before. It's like a
tender right now. But it's coyote Verzakmi that what did
that Loudy Turns blew up the earth did? Like fifteen
twelve million. One of the lowest draft things in the
geek forst history. Granted you have John Cena and some
other people in here is written by James Gunn, But
like I think, Loudy Tunes is also one of those
brands that I don't know if people care about. Right,
I'll be there. It's like what I said to people,
it's like you better fucking show up for Everybody made
a big deal about it, and I'm not saying you
should not have made a big deal about this. Absolutely,
I don't want films get rid off for tax purposes
because that sucks for the town and sucks for the artises.
But I'm saying, also, all people that tweet about it,
you know, made a big deal about it, X, Y
and Z fucking go see this. Then I'm not saying
that's gonna I think it's still a smaller bubble, but
you better go see this goddamn movie. Let's see. Since September. Hmmm,
this is a tough one, and that I've been thinking about.
The practical Magic two is out, but that's not the one.
Resident Evil. This is tough for me because Resident Evil.
Uh that last one. Because I just searched us up recently.
Raccoon City. It was like low it made his budget back,
but so I had a budget of twenty That is
some low. Fuck it, right. We talked about this with
Silent Hill, right, that's the last time I brought this up.
Was Silent Hill made more sense to me because I
feel like, sure, it's trying to make a comeback to
remaking some of these games, but I think it's those
movies weren't as well loved and big. And it's also
like Resident Evil that have consistently had games almost every
three years, maybe more. It was a COVID movie. Okay,
so was it actually let's see when did that come out?
Twenty twenty one? It was Mike but it still was
twenty twenty one COVID where I'm not saying every movie
is like this, but like Venom was making lots of money.
No Way Home was right, So it's like if people
cared enough, people would still come out and see it. Right,
you're you're, you're right. I'll definitely put the asterisks on
it that that would maybe cost it some, but if
people want to see it, they want to. And with
the Resident Evil like this is kind of got some
planning an extors just like this, to me is the
last shot, and I hope not especially replaying the games.
I will talk about the movies when we get there,
the retros, all those Meala movies. Why not Fuck and
Raccoon City apparently does this terrible job? Like why the
fuck aren't they actually like adapting these games talking about
Worling hypes. Why aren't they adaptins the game like Resident
six like it is mission impossible with zombies? Why aren't
they adaptings and you don't got to do them beat
by beat. But it's like these movies they did with
Paul w Anderson and that fucking christ Paul w Anderson.
Fuck me, that was like last week when I saw
that report of uh, they're doing House of Dead and
he like, I don't get it, man. I'm looking forward
to watching all these Resident Evil movies because I'm in
the mood and I think they're be very fun retrospectives.
I think when we have to talk about middling to
bad movies, and I think that's why lots of times
when people I feel like most times patrons seventy five
percent of the times we've been made to watch out
my patrons it's bad movies because I think people like
when we talk about the shit right and we just
get into it. I'm not looking forward for the film,
like the watching of those more of the reviews of
them right. And Paul w Anderson, I'm not gonna say
he's like Yule Bowl levels, but like who is trying
to Like he's made some petition to direct this one now,
but like he is I don't even know direct for
but like it's just like a stamp of this ain't
gonna be good. That's it's a guy, Like how do
he get work? I don't know. I guess like smaller budget,
probably good timing. Maybe he's a good guy too, And
that's great, right, happy for me as a career. But
when I saw they're doing House of Dad, so it's
like one because they finally whoever's in charge of this
was like, we should Resident Evil, massive franchise that's literally
in its best years now since seven has revitalized, Eight's
the best selling game. I've not seen the hype for
Resident Village like or is an evil requiem in a
long long time, Like it is palpable in the gaming
community right now, people are you know, fucking Leo as
Kennedy is back. But still like people are excited for
that game. This is the time, and they were smart,
this is the time to do that. But it's just
so funny. It's like, Okay, Zach Craiger gets it. What
am I gonna do? Well, I'm gonna do House of
Dead Okay. And what I'm saying here is isabellamer set.
I could be wrong because this is the thing, right,
I understand. There was a couple of weeks ago a
month school when Leo said this, right, they asked like, oh,
what's what's a mistake do you think some actors are doing?
And he's like, well, I see some actors they get
some name or some notoriety, and then they're in a
bunch of stuff, right, and it almost like lessens those
potential success rates for those projects because they can see
all the time.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It's like the quote I say about Denzel when he says,
like he told Michael B. Jordan, like, don't have social
media because if they can see you on the weekdays,
they won't pay for you in the weekends. Right. Maybe
some truth, maybe not, but whatever. I think that with
Merced like maybe it's a case of this is all
she's getting offer. But she was in Supergirl, she was
in Last of Us. There was another thing I guess
like Madam Webman, not so much. It was still like
at least an ip And then I thought there was
one of the things she had the streak of, like
getting all these projects announced that were really good. Isabella,
I'm telling you, don't do this. Don't Sometimes it's worth
the pass on a project, start a podcast, get another role,
Wait till Hawk Girl like you get that movie or
spin off, like, this is not the way to go.
I would be fine if it was House of Dead
with somebody else, like, okay, now this chance you've seen
a script can breakout? Sure with Paulo Yanson, what are
you doing? So to go full circle, well, Rensidney will
be a bomb. I'm gonna put in the contenders because
I don't know what that brand I this is its
last shot. I don't want to be I want to
blow up and then try again and even adapt some
game stuff. I would love, even though if what's his
Zach Arry's not doing game stuff. It's just the idea
of if this does well, they might look at Residentul.
It's bigger ip and let's take some better care of it, right,
like what Disney and fall Our Century Studios did with
Alien Predator. That's why I kind of hope happens here.
This can revitalize it because I do think this is
like last shot. Because I was gonna say, oh, I
can do a TV show. Well, I got canceled after
one season on Netflix, right, same thing didn't really adapt
the games and stuff. But I just don't know that
that movie and that franchise and it can pull some
international stuff at least, but what is it nowadays? It's
it's odd that it should not be pulling the same
as Silent Hill when this is much bigger, Right, So
I'm gonna put it there. I'm gonna hope because and
I also just want to see budgets. Right, Let's let's
see sequel canceled sequels of course, This fucking guy. Director
Johann Roberts stated if there's a sequel to Reconcity, he
would like to adapt the story of quote Veronica reverenced
in the film with Ash, whichwins fucking christ I loved,
I love go and wait for that remake and oh interesting,
And that's what I mean, like equal seven in village
you can ease like, how do you not cast where
you ripley as fucking lady d and go make a
fucking half a billion dollars? You know what are we
doing here? Let's see so Zach great, I just want
to look under Okay, yeah, so Zach Craiger, what was
his the budgets Barbarian had to be a small budget, right.
Let me just take a look here, because that's where
I think this will help me from. If it's in
the list or not so Weapons. I know it's a hitoffs,
I just want to see what he usually comes in
at around a budget time as a budget so Weapons
was thirty eight and then this was four four point five.
That's great. My hope is and especially because like the
cast right, like I shouldn't have closed that, like Austin Abrams,
like he's becoming a star, but he's not, Like I
don't think he's driving up the fucking price ticket right, Like,
if anything, that's Zach Greiger now, rightly, So let's see
twenty twenty six, Peel. I just want to see who
else is in here? Movie? Oh, I love it. Fake
posters there even some of these places even use the
Racoon City poster as the poster cast Paul Walterhauser. Same
things at Cherry, Austin Abrams and then yeah, so there's
not many people in here. My hope is if it's
awestly because it's the IP and it could be a
bit bigger. I wouldn't mind if you get like a
Genesis or Mister X Final Boss Battle, that'd be great.
I think fifty should be the cap here, though. I
think if you're starting to get past fifty, you're getting
in Dangerous Territory for a resident Evil movie, I wouldn't
recommend that. Like as far as success, right, I don't
care if it whatever budget has got a great movie, great,
but I'm hoping with that cast and Gregor's pass that
he can kind of keep it to a certain amount
so he can have a Hey, even it makes one
hundred and fifty, that's a profit, right, So we'll keep
the contenders for now. But I'm not locking that yet.
Let's see, so in September Forgotten Island, know, Social Reckoning, Na,
it would be modestly budget digger. You never know, because
Tom Cruise could have like a huge, like whatever paycheck.
But I don't think so. Clayface, I don't think so.
Oh those are two that I skimmed over and I
should put them here, Mortal Kombat two in Street Fighter two. Now,
granted those could be lower budgets, but what was the
Mortal Kombat Mortal Combat twenty twenty one? What was the
budget of that? Alvisoly became ho Max's biggest movie of
the year, right, which was crazy times. But let's take
a look how much time I got here? Okay, I
got some time here to fifty five million and then
Box Office eighty four. Also that was that was peak
COVID April, that's when they were releasing the day and
date movies. And Street Far I'm gonna keep them there.
They're pretty similar. I could just see both films not
doing great for some reason. I could see Street Fighter
doing better because I think it has more like meme mobility.
I'm not just saying that because you know, like the
big Dog Roman reigns in the American Nightmare, Cleary Roads
are in that movie. I just feel that there's there's
much more room for error in Mortal Kombat because are
no other way around. I think there's much more room
for growth.
Speaker 1: And also.
Speaker 2: They could just be minecrafty where people go to have
a good time. Let's just look at the days, right, Okay,
so this is September, so we have Resident Evil, Practical
Magic to How to Rob a Bank, Avengers, then Gamme release,
and then when is Street Fighter, Oh, Street Friers October.
I don't want to you know, it's September. I'm a
fucking idiot, Bigger, the Social Reckoning, Other Mummy, Street Fighter,
Clay Face Wife and Dog Sean Sheep. I think even
with now I can bring it back not a fucking idiot.
September and October, there's not really like looking like a
comedic maybe how to Rob a Bank, but like a
comedic over the top movie. I'm not saying Street Frieda
is gonna do well. I'm just saying in juxtaposition of
Mortal Kombat, which, let me see, I think that's in March, right, Okay,
so Mortal Combat Combat, No, it's May okay, so May
got Devil's were a Prada that's gonna do Gangbusters, and
then it ends with Mando, so it's right, It's it's
a good slot Mortal Kombat. It's kind of right in
the middle, and Mando and Uh Devils has different audiences.
I just think, like I love Carl Urban, but I
think that's just a thing where people might see, like
even if it's like stupid like Andrew Schultz and people
fall his comedy, Like, I think there's just a better potential.
So if they both don't make it, maybe i'd put
Moral Kombat, but maybe they will, let's see, Okay, so
then Seana Sheep no way. November sixth, Doctors, Who's cam Hat? No,
I think I'll still make a profit. And it looks
awful doctor Zilla, god Zilla my zero. No, they make
that for cheap, for maybe some bad reasons, ebeneezer. I
think that'll be cheap because, like, let me just quickly
look at all the budgets, like and I don't think
Johnny Depp is, in my opinion, probably like I need
a massive fucking I think he's just happy to be
in a fucking why release North American movie coming up.
But I feel like ex Pearl, Maxine were all pretty cheap, right, Pearl,
they don't even list the budget. That's not on Wikipedia.
That's that's odd. So hmm. So Maxine just as a
budget was under ten million, I mean twenty two million. Oh,
I love Maxine. That's brutal x. I don't see a
budget then Pearl. So let's say they're all around that
like five to ten. Like Pearl couldn't been that much, right,
So I think Carol's fine unless depth is asked for
a big price tag. But I think it's fine. Let's
see here. Hunger Games, No, I think it will. I
think Hunger Games will profit. I think that last one did.
And I think with the bigger prequel situation, bigger characters back,
you got fucking Hutcherson and Lawrence Back. I think you're
fine there. I think there's a chance of hext, but
I'm not strong to put there meet thee or meet
the parents for falker in law. I think we'll be
budgeted right, So no, we will never know about the money.
But Narnia I could even though I'm wearing my you know,
directed by Greta Gerwick thing. I'm not saying it's gonna bomb.
I'm saying that's like a Michael thing where I could
see it being huge, but we won't know the numbers.
I could also see people being like, I don't really
give a shit about Narnia anymore, you know. So Mike
says Hunger Game is gonna be big? How big? Mike?
Do you think? Top ten big? Do you think what
was the last one Hunger Games? Bad songs? It's like
like two three hundred something, right, it's three hundred and fifty.
So you know what I could I could with what's
com back. I agree with you now, Mike. I think
it's gonna be big. I could see like half a Billy,
I really could. And then let's see December Violin I two. No,
I should be fine. Juanji three that'll be Big Avengers, Doomsday,
Angry Birds, Scream maybe. But then I'm happy with my
list here, so let me screen share it you had
in the top to in your trouther Blou's Okay, I
was get at some point if I ever ever green,
I probably won't do it now because I feel like
it's not gonna be like I want. Maybe one day,
as a small topic, I'd like to go over your
guys listen and talk about what I agree and disagree with,
because I didn't think about that with my lists. I
think if there's a couple disappointments that could happen so
I could see it, I would say still no, but
I still definitely could see it. Let me do a
screen share here then, and so bombs, so I'll have
what I just called bombs. Let's see here bombs. Okay,
so right now I need all of them, but I
have my contenders here of what I think could bombs.
I got the Bride Project, hell Me, Disclosure Day, Mando,
Master of the Universe, Scary Movie Say, Supergirl, Koe Evers,
Act Me, Resident Evil, Moral Combat, street Fighter, and how
to Make a Killing. So I got to cut two
from this list. Hey, I think to make it easy,
I'll cut how to make a killing because I'm imagine
I'm hoping it's budgeted. Okay, I would just think that
it's like maybe the stars run up right, and now
I gotta cut one of these. Hmm. So just be saying, like,
what do I think will be the most successful based
on the budget. I don't know. Great, Uh, let's go
with the locks. Let's go with the locks. I'm sorry
to do this, Maggie. I hope I'm wrong. Pride of lock. Hmm.
I'm gonna say mand to the lock for me now
Master of the Universe is a lock. At least what
I think right could change. So, like I said to,
I'm not fully ready to lock Disclosure Day. I think
I'm gonna lock Hail Mary. I'm sorry, Taylor. Uh hmm.
I feel like because right now when I got left
is Disclosure Day, scary movie six Supergirl Killed versus Actme,
Resident Evil, Moral Combat, street Fire. I'm happy I got
Moral Combat and street Fire there because we're definitely both
making it. It's just actually, did I miscount one, two, three, four, five, six?
Oh No, I didn't. Okay, we're good. Hm. So I
think the two I'm between really three, but I'm gonna
keep it there because I still think people could go eh,
I don't care too much about it. The third was
Disclosure Day. Thought about making that at not Lock, but no,
I think the real bad for me is scary moved
or sorry Supergirl versus Resident Evil, and it's just we
need to know, aust it's for me, it's the budget
on both for them, right, because I feel like Resident
Evil could because what did Weapons end up making? And
I don't think it's gonna make weapons money because I
know they'll be like oh from the Director of Weapons
and and Ipe. Weapons had a great fucking hook. They
had a great hook, great mouth, two seventy right, I
feel like, let me just see actually the numbers for
Resident Evil the old movies. I know that's not gonna
be completely a fair comparison because those are old movies,
but still, just hum me, I just want to see
what they ever peaked at, right, Okay, so we're like
box Office, Okay, So Resident Evel the final chapter twenty
seventeen peaked at three fourteen. Twenty ten was Afterlife of
two ninety five, and then twenty twelve Retribution was two
forty so it seems like it's high ends B somewhere
in the two. I feel like, right now it could
go higher, but I'm gonna say it's ceiling is like
two hundred to two fifteen. Want to go higher? Maybe
good word of mouth it does great. Well, let's say
two hundred. But if that has like a let's say
it's fifty million budget, so it makes a hundred we're
not even to talk marketing just for this a situation exercise.
That's what I was looking for. So one hundred and
fifty million dollars pure profit. Again in this situation, I
know it's not pure profit. They split it marketing letter.
But just here right, we're Supergirl. It's there even a
rumored budget because I thought I saw a rumored budget
two hundred million against rumor, but Supergirl budget tw twenty
six he's debunked. That's two hundred million. Hmmm. I don't
know what Elie's doing out there, oh, like what I'm
just trying to think what Supergirl is gonna be budget
as right, So if they could get to a dream
excuse they get to get like the dream to me, like,
if they it's like a one hundred and fifty still good.
But they get like one hundred million, that'd be phenomenal, right,
And then I would because I think it's ceiling could
be when Tato's Thunderbolt's number, that's like what three fifty
to four hundred, which could be good. With one hundred
million not great. They want to be bigger, but I
think if they're shooting for a certain goal, which I
hope they are, could be good. Right, So it's just
what's gonna be more profitable. I feel like I have
to bump Resident Evil off. I feel like there I
have a low because I think I have a higher
risk of Resin Evil or Superol having a bigger budget
and more stuff we didn't know about, and some situations
in summer and at bombing versus Resident Evil having that
fifty or even I think I got a better chance
of oh yeah, Resident Evil only cost twenty five million
and like, oh that's awesome, or thirty million, Like I
think that situation where superw has a bigger chance to
have a bigger budget and do poor in summer versus
Resident Evil also having a bigger chance of having a
lower budget than I'm giving it right now. So for
my list, do you just do it does it format it?
There we go. We'll do that, okay, and then maybe
I will do I have time. I'm gonna see if
I have time, but I'm gonna go over MYX list
because he sent in and obviously when you send a Patreon,
when you are patreons and stuff, if we give you
the priority here. So I got about eight minutes, so
we'll see. I was gonna organize them, but maybe I
won't have time. Maybe that's another time. But I feel
pretty good at this list. So my list is bombs again,
not like the lowest of them the year, just like
what they'll make for their budget versus that, and same
thing too. I could be wrong. Scary movie six could
be a super cheap budget, right, so I'm just going
with the what it could do, like, yeah, that's tough.
I'll leave there for now. But honestly that would be
like ten if I could do that. Yeah, let me
do let's do ten. Maybe I could quickly do this.
Let's see here, where is it? Okay? So right now
for my list, I have The Bride, Mando, Masters Universe, Project,
Kill Mary, discal Your Day, Supergirl, Coyote versus ACME, Moral Combat,
Street Fighter it's scaring me. Six. Also, how much did
they pay for it? I'm not gonna look up, but
let's see, kyote act me. How much did it cost
to buy? Let's see if that's gonna quickly because how
much did they spent? Appropiately fifty million? Okay, so that's
definitely the bottom actually or no, that said like the
I put that as like maybe the second top to
be honest, because maybe it breaks out. I don't know.
That's tough. But let me read the mixlist because yeah,
like I said, I will maybe try to organize it,
but I'm running that time here, so I might not
get a chance. But let's see. Where are you here, Mike? Okay,
so you come, let's see. Okay, so let's see. Oh
that's why that's why it had your I didn't know
they came together your top whatever movie you gotta do it,
says my top nineteen most likely to bomb. I think
the most top ten. I was like, now team, now,
now that makes good sense. I still think will be
a trashf Ivan asked me, worthing heights. Yeah, definitely. I
think I got that vibe enough because I don't need
it to like, I still have promising, won't. I don't
need to be like sult burn like sexual like to
that level. I can enjoy that for the thrill of
all this is crazy shit going on here, But I
don't need that with every one of the Emeralds Fennels movie.
But uh okay, so whoaw Mike, Holy shit? So okay,
so you're one. You put screen seven on there that
I don't think so I think. I think you'll be
wrong on that one. I think it's going to because
the last budget was like what Scream five let's see.
Uh yeah, But Mike, I hate to break it to you,
budget of twenty four million blocks Office thirty eight. This
is gonna do better than that one with Nev coming back.
There's no way that's bombing. That's not bombing. I can't
be with you on that one. I think it's still
gonna do pretty well. This is a crazy one. NUM nine,
Tell me a reason why you're Mike Dune three if released,
what I'm guessing you're subscribing to the fact that you
think that like Doom's Day, will just eat it all up.
I can't say it's gonna bombing. It will still make
a profit. I still think it could take a hit.
Maybe it does have a Barbara hyper to me, I
could never put that list. That's crazy, project cal Mary
came were on there? Hoppers? You think they're okay? I
I feel like that early tracking for Hoppers is pretty good.
If it's like, do we got a budget on that yet? Hopper?
Because Mike, this is one thing, Mike, I'll say, like
when that stuff comes on during football the girls, I
got a Hopper. I got the movie from nineteen seventy eight.
What was the budget of that six million? I made
seventy eight gray for Hopper? Oh, Bert Reynolds fantastic, Let's
see is it Pixar right? Why is this not coming up? Oh?
Because I spelt hot. I put Hooper's fucking christ um
so right now? Budget of one fifty tracking fifty to
sixty for opening weekend. I think it's gonna be okay, Mike,
whenever those come on, my kids are locked in. It's
gonna hit during spring break as well. I think Hawper's
is gonna be okay. I'm not saying you're wrong, Hext.
You could be right. It is a big budget. Yeah,
like Hext, we haven't seen much, so you could be
right that one. I I thought about putting it because
I haven't seen enough. I just put that in like
the category of like the TVD Harper's you could, but
I just think that it's gonna. It is a big budgeship,
but I think it's gonna. It's already tracking better than
Elio and Eleo finished at what can I just open
my fucking page here? Oh my god, it's because I'm working.
I'm running my work browser as well too. That's probably
why some of the things are slower for me today.
Elio one hundred and fifty four million, as I think
it can make that, So I'm I'm if you on that,
and I can see you including it though, And then
the four were aligned here Mael and Grogu, Supergirl Disclosure Day,
and Master the Universe. Yeah, that could be a top
one because supposedly it costs a lot of money, right,
So if I got what two minutes to make my
list here, yeah, same thing, I would put Master next.
I'll keep the Bride at number one, even though I
think kyoievers Act Me could be that Project hill Mary
Disclosure Day, Supergirl. Yeah, I feel good with the restless list. Yeah,
my list, what I think the Bride, Kyoie vers Acne,
Master of the Universe, Mandalorian Grogu, Project Hill, Mary, Disclosure Day, Supergirl,
Moratal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Scary Movie six. We'll see
because I got to revisit both of these at the
end of the year when we do the top ten
box office. Also, we'll have the draft with MIC's results,
but then we'll have this as well. It's gonna be
a curious year. So yeah, I didn't think. Not many
people are thinking of acting Mike, and that's why it's
gonna bomb. That's exactly why it's gonna bomb. But uh,
thank you everyone that watched the thing. Everyone love chat. Yeah,
I said I will be back on the Friday, excuse me,
the pre record trast told you. And then next Tuesday.
Let me look at the counters to make sure I'm
going to be back for the next Tuesday. Make sure
we've got nothing going on here in the geek first land. Yeah, yeah,
next Tuesday. As far as the eye can see, I
should be back Tuesday and Thursday eleven am PSD. We
should be getting back to like the regular scheduled programming.
So uh yeah, we'll be back, and I promise you
it will not be boring,
