Speaker 1: Let's move on to this next topic here. I wanted
to talk about this because me and Kirkland don't get
a cast for a while, and I also want Taylor
and Dylon's thoughts. But just in case, not James Bond
rumored to get a director short list or it's not
rumor it does. We're going through a weird thing where
it was like, hey, Amazon's maybe going to try to
speak with Nolan or something like that, and well, I'll say,
Chris Nolan doesn't seem like that worked out. And then
it was like, Okay, now it looks like it's gonna
be Alfonso Kuran, who did Roma?
Speaker 2: Who did Gravity?
Speaker 1: Who did Tristra Azkaban, children men great pick right? And
then he It was in a thing where when that
rumors happenings like yeah, we're just figuring it all out,
and then like months layers again, I don't look like
it's happening anymore.
Speaker 3: So I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Amazon's maybe have some control issues would be
my guess that maybe they are going to some tours
being like hey, you.
Speaker 3: Want to do Bond, and they're like, oh, I do this, this.
Speaker 1: And this, and then the Amazon in my opinions, be like,
I don't know if we want to do that, but
now there's a new shortlist right now.
Speaker 2: Edward Berger. I think it's Berger, not Burger.
Speaker 1: Berger, Denise Velleneuve, Edgar Wright, Jonathan Nolan and Paul Kinser.
Edward Berger had done Oh I'm forgetting the War movie
he did, but he did, and I'm forgetting the Priest
movie did too.
Speaker 2: That just was with Ray Fines.
Speaker 3: The Covenant or is the Covenant the Cardinal.
Speaker 1: The no I'll find out after really good movie, both
very solid director.
Speaker 3: Dannie ville Neuve, We've talked a boy him many times.
Speaker 1: Edgar Wright, Scott Pilgrim Versus the World, Sean the Dead,
He's working on Running Men right now. Last thing and
so Jonathan Nolan hasn't directed too much. He directed me
called Transcendence that I've never seen. I used to meme
on Emily.
Speaker 2: She hated me for it.
Speaker 1: I used to log onto, is she leave her phone?
I take her phone and take up her Facebook app
and get the poster of Transcendence and just would post
all this is my favorite movie of all time.
Speaker 3: One time someone did like, oh I love that movie,
she'd always get mad.
Speaker 2: Me, and then she deleted.
Speaker 1: But obviously he's tied with Amazon because he's the show
runner and head creator of Fallout. I think with somebody
else but with Fallout. And then Paul King is quality,
but definitely the most random choice. He's done all the
Paddington's and then he did Wonka as well, so not
not what you would think for Bond, but obviously a
very skill talented director. So I'm gonna throw to my
other man who's on the Bond retro which you know
say Tuned could could return soon, they think with a
game coming out, you never know what's happen twenty twenty six.
But Kirkland, out of this list, who do you have
a I know you're gonna say probably Deny. So let's
say if it was me who I'm gonna be honest,
Denise is not happening. They might be talking to him.
Speaker 2: Two things.
Speaker 1: They're about to film Doom Doom Doune at the end
of this year begin next year.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be busy.
Speaker 1: And if they if they're having issues with Chris Nolan
and Alfonso, I think Denny is another guy that's not
gonna He doesn't strike me. It's like he'll play ball,
but not completely Like I don't think he's gonna bend
over like maybe.
Speaker 2: Some other people might.
Speaker 3: And I'll say ben Ford may because Benning overs always
could be good.
Speaker 4: But at Jonathan's Nolan would Christopher Nolan's.
Speaker 3: I think everyone on this list would bend over one
way or another.
Speaker 5: But then he wouldn't just stretch up this metaphor that.
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 4: I don't like what was Edgar's film?
Speaker 2: I haven't even got back there. Let's see here.
Speaker 4: It was like, I don't know, just very different genre.
Speaker 2: You might have saw his war movie.
Speaker 5: Okay, did Baby Driver?
Speaker 2: No, that's Edgar?
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, so Edgar berberid Berger?
Speaker 2: No, No, no, Edgar? Who did you say? Kirk? Yeah?
Then Dylan was right?
Speaker 7: Wait, job everyone, I'm so confused.
Speaker 4: Now, that's not one of the directors that you that
you pitched, right, you said that Wright's on that list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so there's ed.
Speaker 5: You get this fucking Burger guy out of here.
Speaker 3: Edward Burger. It was Conclave, which is a great movie
and all quite on the Western front.
Speaker 2: Both nominated for Best Pictures.
Speaker 3: So that's Edward and then Edward. No, I did not.
Speaker 1: And then there's Edgar Edgar Right, he did Baby Driver
Sean d last night and.
Speaker 4: So that Oh okay, I like both these heads.
Speaker 3: Wait have you even seen those conclads?
Speaker 2: Are all quite on the western front.
Speaker 4: No, But I like how he was nominated.
Speaker 5: He likes an Oscar movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I The last Oscar movie I saw was phenomenal.
It was a great, great experience.
Speaker 5: It was not an arc. You were going to go
on it. You were getting into Oscar movies or something.
Wasn't that a thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: And then I had to watch like a thousand.
Speaker 3: That was I didn't remember last year. Weren't you sold
on the Brutal List?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know if I'm fucking
this movie, like this is amazing.
Speaker 7: I'll sit there for all fours like a hype title waves,
you know, the waves go in and out, and if
I don't get it on that high point, it's just
it's lost, and I'll I'll find it in the channel
at something point.
Speaker 3: That's ranting one going, how's that going?
Speaker 5: We're war you know he's not playing.
Speaker 3: I saw the title sequest, like, oh, there's no he's.
Speaker 2: Maybe on the sequel. I'll I'll get back to it.
Speaker 4: No, not happening, Yeah, plants change? Is this Synquist beat?
Thank you?
Speaker 3: Steal whatever? Oh the hot I beat the game with
the hot animate chick. What a surprise. Kirkland beat that one?
Speaker 5: You know, Hey, well he used the Teddy Bear skin.
Speaker 4: Come on, yeah, thank you. Defender a lot of college football.
Speaker 1: So but.
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Eds, I mean, yeah, ed Edgar Wright
or Edward Right. No, Edgar Wright. I feel like that one.
Speaker 7: I'm drawing to more, not just because I've seen movies
under his banner, but uh it just the vibe is
is more of a fun time as opposed to I'm
assuming Conclave is probably a very dry, depressing.
Speaker 1: It has some dark comedy. It's about them replacing the pope.
The pope has died and then they're having a conclave
to decide. But there are some good comedy beats in there.
Speaker 4: And then The Western Front sounds like a just a
war set series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's drama if.
Speaker 7: I want some of that in Bond, but like I
don't want a whole Bond adventure. Just being that, I
think it's definitely a a specific cocktail that needs to
be you know, shaken out, stirred, and I trust the
right man on the job. And Deny, you know, if
he just drops everything and wants to bend over upside.
Speaker 1: Down, Deny's always choice. I would love it because Nolan
is like, because he's Nolan. Sorry Christ, Joel Christ specifically
now Jonathan. This this for me is all a very
kind of safe list other than Denise and Edgar, and
I don't think of those two will do it. I
think Denis obviously I gave made my points, but I
would love that because Nolan did Batman and then Denise
did Bond. I would like that kind of them not
doing the same thing but something similar. But yeah, it's
not gonna be the me Edgar.
Speaker 7: I just.
Speaker 1: Some of those, like those earlier films. Like I just
I don't know if this has coming from a guy
that does not really love Scott Pilgrim. I just I
worry about the humor part and if that starts to
weigh up too much. I trust him enough to know,
like Bond shouldn't just all be humorous, But I just
worry whatever type of humor in there might be not
the right fit. Jonathan Nolan, I don't know. Paul King
is very talented, so if you were to get it.
I would That's like the funnest experiment is to see, Hey,
what is a guy that does Paddington and Wonka do
a Bond?
Speaker 5: Like I would love to see that. Yeah, that's the
pivot want to see and.
Speaker 1: Those films are feel very British, so it's like, well,
I think they got that part down, and then I
think Burger's like.
Speaker 2: This safe choice.
Speaker 1: Edward is the safe choice because he's done two nominated films.
I just feel like with him, I know exactly the
type of Bond movie we get, and I feel like
Amazon would be happy with that. And it's no insult
because I think col Clave was you know, I talked
ten or fifteen last year. I really liked it. I
just I want the first Bond for the new one,
just like we got with Peers, and I can see
Ken Connery but with Craig like something really flashy and
maybe he will do that. Maybe Edward would surprise me like,
oh I was expecting this, but he gave me that,
And I guess you can make that case.
Speaker 2: We'll oh Edgar Wright.
Speaker 3: But there's certain other flashes.
Speaker 2: I want, and I don't know that there's a flash.
Speaker 1: There's like a flash bang and Edgar Wright could be
a fight and I love last Night and so so
I could be wrong, Like.
Speaker 3: There's he peels back to cammed me there.
Speaker 1: Maybe ask me again in November after Running Man when
he him and Glenn Pale do that. I want to
see that's pretty action oriented, but don't Also, you kind
of check out Bonds here and there, depending on Golden Geeks.
But Paul King, would that make you go see Itter?
But that's just the choice, he said, that would be
a fun one day.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm potentially open to seeing these movies, and I
think the best place to jump in is when they
recast get a new Bond, new timeline, and that would
be the easiest place for me to make my entry
point walk in that door.
Speaker 5: Especially. I'm sure I'll be hyped on Bond after just.
Speaker 8: Playing an endless amount of Io's Bond game, which is
probably gonna come out maybe before this.
Speaker 5: This first movie would be I.
Speaker 8: Don't I don't really know the time games take a
lot longer, but I don't know that already announced and
has trailers, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think this movie's out to like twenty
seven in the earliest Yeah, I think, yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I think Edgar Wright is one. I actually
don't want to do this because I like because he's
like kind of the writer. He always writes and directs
his stuff, or at least for the most part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if not, he'll have like a co writer.
Speaker 2: But he's definitely involved in all that.
Speaker 5: And Last Night So Baby Driver.
Speaker 8: I loved those movies, and I really I just want
to keep making his weird stuff, and I don't. Yeah,
I don't want not even that. I don't want him
to have the shackles that Amazon would eventually put on him.
But I just want him to go make his weird, cool,
creative stuff and not feel like he has to fit
like that Bond template. I'd rather see someone else take
a swing at it. So I think the Paul King
won actually yeah, is the most interesting to me because
it is certainly a pivot. But like I loved Wonka
and Paddington are like, what the best reviewed movies of
all time or something, right, So it's like, I think
that'd be cool. He's obviously great at making movies, so
he could do it. So who is the fallout person?
Speaker 9: Jonathan Nolan so honestly right or of the darkness? Okay,
that's his brother. You know what, I'm also down for that.
I think that would be really cool. Now that is
a big swing and potentially a bit of a risk,
but I don't know.
Speaker 8: I feel like Fallout super popular, people are really hyped
for season two, So I think there's you know, Fallout
and Bond I think are quite different, but I do
think there are some similarities there in terms of action maybe,
Like there's so many different types of characters you're putting
in a Fallout world, I'm sure you could grab some
of that onto a Bond type character. And uh yeah,
I mean I think the scale is there as well,
so I and set pieces that.
Speaker 5: Kind of thing.
Speaker 8: So I think that's a decent pick as well. So honestly,
is a pretty solid solid list of potentials. Deny is
another one I absolutly don't want him.
Speaker 9: To do this.
Speaker 8: I want him to make I don't know what next,
but if he's done with Dune, I'm actually fine with
that because, like you know, Blade Runner, Dune go on
to some other huge sci fi thing, whether it's IP,
like a previous IP or something new for him. I
just kind of want him to do that, and we
all know he hates dialogue, and I feel like you
need dialogue in a Bond movies.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, maybe he's not the best.
Speaker 3: You can't say Bond James Bond in this one. We're
not letting him do that this time.
Speaker 2: You can't do a French accent.
Speaker 1: So but and well, the rumor, so what was suppose
that one DENI is he's working on a film. People
think he's chasing the Oscar. That sounds very similar to Oppenheimer.
It's like a war biopic type of movie. But then
the rumor is that him and w B one to
do Dune and just capitalizing the success. It sounds like
after doing his next movie is like an Oppenheimer type
of like this is a biography about some war, some
bomb or something like that.
Speaker 8: And that's really disappointing. But hopefully after that he goes
back to making cool, big sci fi.
Speaker 1: Stuff that's really disappointing before it goes I guess they
give him some credit. It sounds bad. But for Jonathan Nolan,
he wrote Memento, he wrote obviously with his brother as well.
But Prestige, Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rise, Interstellar one
hundred and three episodes. I don't think he writ them all,
but of Person of Interest and then Westworld as well,
which I was actually a fan of that first season,
never went to anything more. And then director he oh, no,
I'm complete. Who the fucked I'm giving him ship for
no reason? He not direct trans Oh, I'm completely wrong.
Speaker 2: I apologize.
Speaker 5: Is it a third Nolan brother out of the.
Speaker 3: No, it's the guy.
Speaker 1: It's the guy who was the cinematog or cinematographer for
One of the Dark Knight. I think it's Wally Feister
or something like that. He went on to direct I
will find out Transcendence.
Speaker 2: So I was wrong, but it.
Speaker 5: Makes it up Jonathan Nolan and Wally Feister.
Speaker 3: Because they're just like they're in the Nolan camp, right,
and because it was always.
Speaker 9: Like from the from the team of Nolan's brother one's
is he like a cousin or something?
Speaker 5: What's going on here?
Speaker 1: And I think I'm the bloodline? Okay, here we got
we got the yeah, Wally Feister, Yeah, okay. So and
he didn't even write that all. But I will say this,
Uh what also like scares me a little bit that
Nolan's Jonathan Nolan's never directed actually a single movie it's
just been TV and that to me is like I
don't know if I want that for Bond, Like that's
I don't know. And as I said, for it, they're
not on the list. We'll talk about him tonight. My
two other choices i'd love would be Steve McQueen. He
directed Shame and he's done a lot of other British stuff.
But then my other choice already sound twenty years later.
I would very much love Danny Boyle. At one point
he was supposed to direct a Bond scheduling conflicts happened,
then he didn't. I would love to see what he
and get Garland on there. As a writer, I would
love to see, we'll get some iPhones on there, like
I don't know, let's see what's happening.
Speaker 3: But that Danny Boil to me is that's.
Speaker 1: The type where that's like Paul King would say, Okay,
this is a style, let's see if it's gonna work
or not.
Speaker 3: And I think like Danny Boyle also like he does
a bunch of his own stuff.
Speaker 1: But he's done IP before too, so uh but uh,
any of these flowed your boat, you know, same things.
Speaker 3: You're kind of in and out and Bonds here and there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in and out.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm always down for a Nolan. I mean,
there's three brothers, and so let's get the let's get
Johnny in there, Let's see what he's capable of. I'm
all for that, honest, Jonathan.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do you think that the family dinners get really awkward?
Speaker 1: If you know Nolan's whole life has expressed how much
he wants to do James Bond, and he's probably like.
Speaker 3: Guess what, I'm shooting this ball.
Speaker 5: But yeah, he's flexing.
Speaker 6: He's flexing.
Speaker 5: Now, Holy feister just breaks through the window like the takes.
Speaker 2: The I didn't.
Speaker 6: I didn't realize that there were three Nolan brothers. But words,
well the third one, Like is that true?
Speaker 2: Is that all true? That is true? Yeah? Is it really?
Speaker 1: The third Nolan brother is a contracted killer. Legitimately he
is in prison now, but he he was a hit man.
Speaker 6: So he's gonna help write some story plots for James
Bond or something that.
Speaker 1: Maybe I guess you could go to him and maybe
you cast him, you cast him as they comeback story,
you know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the third Nolan is a contracted killers.
Speaker 4: The villain of Bond it's like a contract.
Speaker 6: He was the first one who tried to get Bond.
Speaker 5: Real life, aging forty seven.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the Nolan families, including this except for Christopher Nolan,
like even his convicted killer brother.
Speaker 2: But do you have a pick at it?
Speaker 3: So you're you're on the the Jonathan Nole and you
want to get let's get John in there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Johnney, we'll see you.
Speaker 1: Like fall enough, so yeah, we'll see we should hopefully
get it's you know, we got the game coming out.
There was rumors of an actor, but we're not to
talk about right now because no one's seeing anything's done.
Speaker 2: So we'll see in the future. And I think we're
a long ways away from that.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, then you did announce the director here
and get fucking going, Scott when was no time to
die twenty twenty one, Right, we're getting like a rise
of Scott, like we're getting a rise of Skywalker situation
where remember they paid to partner at the studio and
then they bought another billion to buy James Bond just
a flat out, so they've spent a lot of money
to really do Like no I'm not saying I'm not
doing nothing, but just to kind of like kick tires round,
like maybe this person, maybe this but uh we will see.
Let's take our last ad break. We're gonna have a
bunch of had them stuff coming up the last little
bit here, so we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back.
