**A Conversation About "Booksmart" and New Movie Releases**

But in it might be theaters from just a couple more weeks because it didn't do so well for the Mohali break but so highly recommend I'm so glad to hear that's a trailer I loved the trailer those two actresses seemed amazing and what I've been hearing is is this like a super raunchy comedy that's not so that threads this interesting needle of being both really funny and really true and raunchy and really sweet all the same and that's all true and I think the easy pitch was this is super bad but two girls right right and it's even easier but is one of those times way more common yes and one of the one of the leads is Jonah Hill's sister, so like it's very easy to make that comparison as a way to get people in theaters. I think it's a much better movie than Superbad, and so Brad's got some great you know heartfelt moments but this movie and you know I can't relate to the kids in this right these are 18 year olds in high school and they're to girls like I don't know what it is that makes it true but it just felt true that's awesome.

**Supporting Emerging Artists**

I've been tweeting about it and saying you know get out there if you want more look if there are good movies it's important that we go see them in the theater to support them cuz this that's how that's how you get your movies if we want if you want less TV and more movies go see movies. I read this wonderful defense of Jupiter Ascending that was like hey it may be really problematic but less than what Ciao skis for going out way over their skis to try out stuff like this that's original and different.

**Upcoming Podcasting Schedule**

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis week's episode of still entitled is made possible with support from the Rochester Institute of Technology faculty and students there recently built a robot fish why because it could lead to a new wave of prosthetics and now we're all hooked at RIT that creative team of engineers is onto something life-changing learn more about the project at RIT dot edu slash untitled now all the show welcome to still untitled the atoms have a project I'm will I'm Adam and I'm norm it wouldn't be a proper podcast down a clip to the problem Saudi o engineer is off today it's been a hot minute since we all got together alas we actually we didn't podcast us because we had Adams Maker Faire Sunday Sermons the episode last week so hope you all out there enjoyed that so we have quite a bit I don't think we've podcast together since we talked about Avengers endgame I was ok I went and saw it again I haven't yeah still I cried even more I found it even more affecting I feel really bad because John wick came out this week and I haven't seen it yet either I haven't I haven't either I didn't need time to watch that so I yeah I like I wanted to go back and go see both of those movies and just have not a head time detective Pikachu out I want it I kinda want to see that out because it looks like a real amazing it looks like a Roger Rabbit of our time yeah yeah murder mystery yeah but um but endgame ok you want to see it did you see it in like iMac source auricular theater I just saw it on a regular theater twice was it packed still yeah both times in fact yeah we had to we saw it at the Alamo Drafthouse the second time and yeah we were off to the side Wow I'm glad to hear that people who are watching the box office are nervous now because the drop off it's closed its run in some places overseas I think it's wrapped up its run in China and so it might not beat avatar as the highest-grossing film ever even though everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion Wow I would actually we do that after the first weekend rest in peace did you notice things in this new viewing that you didn't the first time or do you connect with pieces more I connected with it more so my wife has not been as assiduity all the Marvel films that I had I'm shocked yeah sir but I will tell you that after we went and saw Captain Marvel we were both so like high on Marvel love that we came home and immediately watched guardians 1 yeah and then the next night we watched guardians 2 and the next night we watched I do we didn't watch Civil War no a few nights later we watched Winter Soldier mm-hmm and then when we went and saw endgame we came back in the next night we watched Ragnarok and we finished that last night so it's like it's just back in that lovely it was just like going back into that lovely universe and I found it even more affecting the second time I found emotional beats hit me nice and hard and Wow I love it when Captain Marvel goes hello Peter Parker yeah I I am so excited for like 10 years from now and somebody writes the how this all happened book because if you look at the run from like Civil War Black Panther probably Civil War Civil War through Ragnarok and Black Panther all the stuff that came out in the back half of phase 3 leading up to endgame in infinity war and like they didn't they didn't really mess up like there's no they had a million different teams working on these movies they were releasing two or three a year which is rigid like it's ludicrous it's ludicrous and then you watch Ragnarok which we finished last night and it's like I love that my primary question after watching it is how did a studio get out of this movies away right just to let it happen with Tyco ITT's all of his in jokes from New Zealand that the rest of the world won't get and still it has this magical well Sekar is space New Zealand we've established that now into you know after movie 10 they realized they couldn't once they'd done we're done with the origin stories they realise they in order to keep things fresh they had to give creative control and you know credit to the producers there to hire directors who are different and have unique visions and you know it they knew that a movie this big was gonna have the beats to sell right right the big yeah yeah and yet I think that Lucasfilm having done such extensive reshoots on rogue one that we now know we're deeply extensive and solo seems like an entirely separate film being shot with solo if we can get to next year it's an e it's an easy thing to screw up well and and and and I that's I I'm not saying that I know why Lucasfilm screwed up I don't know if they got in the way or got away - out of the way like and that might not be a knowable thing I think that with with the Star Wars universe and it's all under the same umbrella on their Disney although that of course Marvel has its own executive team won of course Lucas as an executive team in terms of what the fans expect with the with Marvel there's a comic universe that the first like six movies were really reverent - right and it got to a point where the cinematic universe could be its own thing and people would trust that right with Star Wars there's nothing but the movies that people hold as the most precious thing and maybe that's why that could be with more weight into it that I just I feel like like if you look at Thor as the example right it opens it opens you and we were talking with us before the show it opens a little bit slow it's not it isn't just an absolute barn burner it isn't like the opening of guardians - yeah when they have this incredible fight and it's like all that picks up right where it left off before and watching guardians 1 and 2 and Ragnarok which I had kind of put all under the same heading in my head they're radically different films and guardians 1 & 2 are just an unfettered super fun romp all the way through I mean Ragnarok opens with how did I get here with it that's right listen I'm just saying having watched the to it in the same week Ragnarok feels like a little bit slower - to bring you into this like weird wonderful universe but at the same time Ragnarok opens with Led Zeppelin which is the thing you've kind of been waiting for from for the entire time and then they play the song again at the end of the movie and it's so satisfying and what oh I was thinking about this because I was watching the finale last night and I was thinking of I read this wonderful analysis of Zack Snyder and the DC EU the DC yeah yeah in that they said one of the difficulties is that Schneider sets up these surpassingly beautiful visual moments but does not frequently support them with the emotional beats that bring the catharsis yeah so it's Superman standing there getting healed by the Sun but you haven't been drawn in so it's not affecting you the same way whereas Ragnarok when Thor is following the bolt of lightning into the you know all the enemies yeah you are it's like tae Kyo Tychus showing this is how you do it what I also love that someone like talk of where tt didn't need to Emilia jump into the next door like he's directing Akira as his next movie and that's a what a wonderful decision to do that and not be locked into even though of course having huge ownership into the Thor that we now know in this version of Thor yeah you can still let that go here's here's the thing though this this version of a cure is now in it entering its 20th year of development I think well and everyone's been attached to some yeah they're Cameron Chris Columbus Chris Cunningham like yeah yeah it's it's everybody but not Chris Columbus Chris yeah not Chris Columbus but yeah it's it's um yeah I'll be interesting if that gets made same thing with Snow Crash right it's one of these like I would love a Taika Waititi so crash oh my god by the way I'm halfway through fall oh you have it yeah oh my god I even went fishing on Twitter I was like man I'm really jealous of all these people send you a picture of the copy and just wait explain explain fall is Neal Stephenson's new book which involves Dodge forest a character from REM d yeah which is I might go back and read ream D and dine around and it is worth rereading I I want to reread it after it's probably my least favorite of the Neil Stevenson well it's way outside his normal dive and yet I love REM d in the same way that like Vineland is a great pension novel yeah it's it's fun and funny and sweet summer land and Chabon right right right it falls outside their normal Canon but it's still really look I love don't say anything about the plot I does it have a potentially Neil gave me a tiny synopsis and I wished I hadn't had it I wanted to go in super cold like think who's it for fans of fans of Neil fans of seven yves fans of so i will say this and this is anna spoiler it actually covers it active so i'm halfway through and we're already like twenty five years in the future of reamed green be was present day way marine be is absolutely present day so this is 25 years from there but from now and he is positing a very interesting and what deeply feels like a deeply realistic future our facts are something you choose based on your bribe is easier to write a story set ten to twenty years in the future or a story set a thousand years in the fuel like it's easier to do the look i'm not a science fiction author so i have no answer I mean thousands is easier bill Gibson said writing a science fiction story said in the present is the hardest thing you did yeah right like yeah with pattern recognition and naturally the the what the blue ant trilogy or whatever right All Tomorrow's no boot country a pattern record and I can remember the last one but I liked it a lot ok all the Marvel films we set five years in the future what's that a lot more films are now said oh yes so they are so they are is it takes three years for one to come out no they're gonna be helped I think they're probably got it covered well what do you think the Marvel films can go from here well spider-man they're gonna go to Europe I think yes that is that is the next film coming out in a month or half thing well done dad Joe well I'm actually really excited about as guardians of the galaxy if that becomes if that is the the film like well I saw so gun James Gunn who's back in directing guardians three has said that guardians three will deal a lot more with Rockets backstory and I'm being super excited yeah because frankly and looks what we're now gonna talk spoilers like when rocket and nebula hold hands and endgame it affected me that might be one of the most affecting bits and gun was saying that rocket is him well the misfit that rocket is as the character gun most identifies with he's a he's a he's a misanthrope who becomes whatever the an anthro I don't know without but in terms of escalation right if there if we spent 10 years and 22 films building up to this with that because Galactica's and I don't know or can it does even make sense to have a type of build up like I don't know it isn't it more important like this are the stakes and because we've talked about this in the past when other reasons like there's a whole trend of movies that we didn't really like because the world being at stake every time got boring Mission Impossible right if Dennis works because yes one it is the universe at stake and they hammer that and but it's also very personal it is their friendship the friends that they lost anymore as dad so I think I think that I my hope is that they'll spend a few years introducing new characters yeah I mean they they have mutants and Fantastic Four and some other folks to integrate and that gives them an opportunity now smaller stakes stories it's true for a while where they while they build to the next the next the next ten years I think it's gonna be Peter Parker I think what they have the luxury of knowing that they can map out a 10 year plan is the the audience grows up with the characters I'm really curious if they're gonna do a Falcon Captain America film to me TV show oh right that was him and Sebastian Stan that's right yeah hey I saw a leta battle angel that was amazing dude I watched it twice in theaters so this is the thing is I didn't yeah I didn't know what we're gonna get I didn't you know you never know what yeah and then so one of my oldest friends a screenwriter was like oh he's like it's totally decent there's no villain but she's great I and I agreed there isn't really there is a villain the villain is the world kind of yeah and you know but I thought it was fantastic I really enjoyed the spit out of it and I when we in the Canon of PJ pg-13 movies choosing one f-bomb hers after she jams and breaks off her Despoiler after she jams her fist into the eye of the villain it snaps off her arm as she says your mercy that is such and that is a transition from because it's James Cameron who wrote the script consolidating several of these books Ryan in the in the manga that villain who's there he has those tentacles yeah he takes a different direction because I believe in the manga he's secretly in love with her and fated with her right there is that very much thing where she gets reduced to nothing but essentially an arm yeah and for someone you know having a robot body like that is nothing how could she get out of this way he the way he and Robert Rica's brought that scene and and like scripted the action around it it is worth seeing this was I was really I was really loved watching hotel or something or I watched it in a hotel in a big screen yeah Roza us all SARS plays Aleta yeah I was terrific performance there's a few uncanny valley moments her face is a little too smooth in a couple spots but I didn't really mind that there's no character there well they said that if you watch the very first trailer for that oh yeah that eyes much bigger the eyes are smaller it turns out making the eyes bigger helps with the end cap the pupils sorry Oh bigger ass and it helps with the end they shrunk the eye size a little bit they made the pupils bigger because then you don't have to believe it's a human yeah I mean this is why this is why if you're doing something with weird CG animation like I do for them yeah yeah then it's better to do cartoons than right people because you don't get skis now um I forgot to mention this Julie was asking me yesterday how many Valkyries are caused playing these days and in question I my experience was I couldn't call to mind more than a couple that I'd seen recently yeah yeah and maybe at comic-con we'll see a lot more definitely she asked about hella I mean cuz I've seen a bunch I've seen a hell hell I've seen a ton and really wonderful versions of it and down and creative made once and I think hellas is striking because the makeup is so much part of it and there's a Challenge and building mm-hmm they the headdress the antlers and Valkyrie is only in her final outfit her battle outfit right the work I mean I just I want so if you do cosplay as Valkyrie Pope would tweet to us or me or put it in the comments because I'd love to see your Valkyrie costume I think there should be more I love Thompson yes so amazing so I love the Tessa Thompson scrapper Valkyrie when we first see her when she's obviously hammered can't work her ship like you know it's so good you know what a good bottoms that movies that try and play with that comedy real stakes and comedy stakes have is it's easy to lose track of what stakes I'm supposed to care about and amazingly Ragnarok does never it never loses which stakes are important and which stakes are jokey and yet you know Jeff Goldblum well being ludicrous and ridiculous is still a scary villain he's still dangerous so there's a great if you want to know more about Chuck about Thor Ragnarok there's a great podcast that a friend of site Chuck when dig and Anthony Carboni knew called Thor rag to talk and they break down and I think a minute of our two minutes of each or maybe it's a five minute chunk of the V of each each episode is only talking about five minutes they get a guest each week Wow so they bring in like they they broken the movie in these little tiny bits and if made a podcast and they've made a podcast series out it's a very good name for that type of podcast is when they did the Hamilton once long ever episode oh yeah dissect yes thing the room where it happened is that Avon freeze it's it's a lovely pocket I highly recommend it okay can we jump back to something a minute ago me so we were talking about Star Wars and how they did massive reshoots on solo and and Roberge one I mean and and I think we all ended up on the same page with last Jedi I mean I it is I think my favorite Star Wars movie at this point but it's interesting to me they did massive reshoots on rogue one and it turned out really well like that I think that movie works on every like it tells a really compelling story at the end I'm really sad about the way it ends but yeah really the perfect way for that movie day so really I agree and solo kind of felt Falls a little flat but but they had a somewhat like how do they have a similar path like how did they do it right with one and swing and Miss right I this is I have this is the billion dollar question yeah on one hand you have I from what I understand they from the interviews with him Tony Corolla right one of the producers of broke one did was key and instrumental to those reshoots and he's a an amazing writer and and actually an amazing director in his own ring Michael Clayton's one of my favorite movies of that genre of I don't even know what you'd call that genre it's like the Alan Pakula you know 1970s parallax view type films that you know good Miller but again these kind of things I could only imagine when you fire two people that have already shot most of a movie and you bring in Ron Howard I these are things that nobody outside the studio will ever fully know the actual story on I just resolved myself to knowing that you were never gonna know obviously they were trying to make a great movie that stuck and something didn't quite gel so on a completely different note did you read the thing yesterday about Last Crusade Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade about the about the screenplay No so that movie had rewrites Gary Whitta a friend of a friend of the site and maja grunting screenwriter yeah posted about yesterday all day got the Lincoln send it to you gnomes can put in the show notes and you should absolutely read it because it goes through and it it compares the original draft that somebody found yeah recently right to the shooting script it was actually shot and it goes through and explains the the beats in a really interesting way and the way they dsq like the way that movie escalates over time so the threat is constantly ramping up versus like originally for example in the original script that was written by the credited screenwriter if I can't remember it as I've thought in my head they when Indy goes to his dad's house he finds his housekeeper dead in the house which immediately sets a tone that this is a life or death peril versus my dad's missing right he's gone he's gone off he's gone off right on a walkabout you know there's there's the Brotherhood Brotherhood of the cruciform sword was originally a minion of the Sultan who's working with the Nazis so he's just an garden-variety bad guy Nazi Nazi stooge yeah versus a person who has been working with a group for thousands of years protect protect the secret yeah and it's it's like these tiny tiny tiny little changes that made that movie a phenomenally bit like I can't imagine what the movie would have been like as this the way the script was originally described fascinating that that kind of unpacking there's a really great documentary or no it was a long-form article about the making and we talked about this on the podcast the making of the thing yeah how having three two or three months between the interior photography and the exterior up in Alaska carpenter basically edited the whole film saw ways in which he could make it more efficient change the shooting skip radically because they'd shot almost exactly this script and then because of these efficiencies there's a one character that dies and it's never explained or it's never actually clear who kills them but it doesn't matter cuz you're not paying attention - yeah isn't that awesome I mean they kind of I mean we saw a glimpse of it when went for the Stanley Kubrick exhibit you saw the Spartacus script and all his handwritten note resin and all those things in oh wow I mean we would love kind of a guy script writers script editors commentary well and I mean with Kubrick I've come to a canoe the mythos is that Kubrick was like every frame was drawn carefully and he shot exactly I don't think that's the case at all I don't think you looking at this exhibit yeah yeah I think that Kubrick shot as much as he possibly could mm-hmm so that when he got into the Edit room he could the film that came out of the Edit Bay could be what it wanted to be that he had all the coverage necessary to let the thing unfold in and of itself and I is it amazing that's a wonderful way to work but it's very different than the the mythos of the hyper precision right and it just happened to say because he has a great eye every shot that he shot was pub fantastic right and that's why the cream of the crop is that good well and it's also possible that his process changed from the time you made Spartacus to the time you made eyes wide shut because that was about 3540 years Iommi is before we continue this week I wanna let you know that still entitled is also made possible with support from triple bite because applying to

time at Phoenix fan fusion it was fantastic a little alliteration and you did an incognito real incognito this time tell us about your well liked it was how people I was hitting the floor I brought a costume I brought a costume that I had not worn in public before well actually I tell a lie I wore this costume actually in order to in order to go see endgame with a Koosh or oh nice and hold on just a second I'm looking at sorry yeah my costume was a captain america civil war suit built by robert Fitch and Kevin Gossett okay and they specifically used the same techniques to build this suit that the original movie suit was which is it's all sewn out of four way stretch dance fabric lycra okay but the patterning on it is a screen printed pattern to make it look like it's ballistic nylon yeah oh my god the trick to get the actors comfortable wearing these suits all that well it turns out what a huge expense on a Marvel film Deborah deulim and Landis told me this a huge expense in the Marvel Universe is getting the actors out of their costumes so they can eat oh wow I'm getting them back in like you lose you could lose a couple of hours of production time with that and so they they started making cap suits more wearable and apparently by Winter Soldier at Civil War he's like oh this is super comfortable I can wear this all day long I don't need to take it off so you have the helmet I had the helmet you're walking around I put it on I did not shave my mustache okay all right don't save my beard so our take on cap yeah what's that your take on cap it's my take on cap old man cap well I typically that comes little aged cap norm I'm having the old cap so I walk I'm coming down the escalator into the main vendor floor mm-hmm and I'm 1/3 of the way down the escalator when the guy behind me goes hey Adam I got this I got found about half a dozen more times you need to build some bad costumes that's the only way out of this problem I think you're positive you're plausibly right it was a fun costume to wear it's very easy costume to wear it's super comfortable it feels really good I have a pair of big foam boobs inside to actually fill it out and I'm gonna have to add biceps I noticed in the mirror I look a little like you're Thor muscle suits too much oh yeah way too much no I need this it's muscle by muscle I can put into this thing how was the convention the convention is great the convention floor it felt really big was it the Phoenix Convention Center then I go in downtown not sure okay I think so I'm sorry I guess it's like a whirlwind the people were great the people that we dealt with there was great I got to spend a bunch of time in the green room I did not approach Jeff Goldblum what I he's too important to me I was the one he's the one you can't talk to well no the Harrison Ford I did I Harrison Ford took came over and talked to me okay that's too pee-wee Herman sorry Paul Reubens was there but this lovely sweet sweet little girl maybe five years old started saying something about atoms and her dad said well here's an atom and she started telling me facts about atoms that's amazing that we're amazing like she was super super on her physics that's right I had five just fully explaining to me how atoms worked and then she says and they're responsible for electricity and I said well actually a part of them is responsible for electricity and she was like what and I was like well there's components of an atom a neutron proton and electron electrons make electricity and she was like I gotta tell you something and then she like downloaded some more information it was um it turned out to be Summer Glau as daughter I believe that's awesome just adorable and very sweet that's really it was it was a very fun green room very lovely Nichelle Nichols was there I also didn't approach her again in the green room is it's a private time it is it is and then I went out and I took pictures with 750 people in a five-hour marathon that I have not done such a thing before how I have to tell you the next day I was sore across my whole body just from the kind of all that energy it was really it was fabulous the fans were great the costumes phenomenal someone has a rocket like a Saturn 5 or ya know she was a falcon heavy giant like nine and a half foot tall that's amazing wearing a spacesuit that's phenomenal there was a hell girl there was a hell boy this young woman came up in the what is the Star Wars dancing character with the - oh like the Twilight I think so girl yeah woman came addressed as that and said that actually she got into cosplay because of watching stuff on tests and now she was a featured cosplay speaker at the fan fusion that's rad that the the fan love was real and abiding and really made me glow it was delightful well that's so cool yeah there's a some could cause play at Maker Faire and they're trying to bring more of cosplay as a track the second year they've done it right yeah yeah they brought in a bunch of cosplayers ex sisters check craft and we all judge cosplay contest and prop building contest and just really great stuff and the guy who won like the best prop made the exoskeleton from Elysium oh yes yeah was that an RPF build is that the guy who's been doing it so yeah yeah and it's one of those things that like I don't know anyone who likes the film Elysium I like the way it looked but it doesn't matter 'full yeah it doesn't matter if you like the film the props you can still love making the costume the props from it because you're gonna still appreciate all of that design indeed in costuming so we didn't talk about the end like speaking of promising costuming like the end it's ready to have him on either by meter we had to talk we haven't talked about the end of Game of Thrones here I don't think and that's a television show yes I mean there was a lot of kerfuffle about the end of the show yeah but we had an opportunity a couple of times to see the props and costumes and person yeah and they have them 18 t stores around the country oh really still really it's all say on HBO is owned by oh yeah yeah it was amazing like like the work that the people that worked on that show did was the most amazing I've ever seen in terms of props and costumes really those things were built they those dresses and the armor and all that stuff was built to withstand a level of inspection that would never happen on TV so awesome so even I know you don't watch the show out yeah but I will I don't even buy your product you don't need to but the thing I should I'll give us on you links to a for every episode this past season because every episode this last season was going hour and a half basically a movie that they've made for like 15 million dollars yeah each episode and they do a behind the scenes piece they had a team on set to film like the writing of and the best stuff is always with the prop makers and the set designers and they talk about very openly about the kind of problem solving the unique problem solving I do for these giant battle scenes for example how do you get giant stacks of zombie carcasses to lay around a castle you have the prop team make a thousand bodies no that's right that's super expensive super heavy and they came with the way to basically vacuum for mixing you make a vacuform Lauryn burps my own corpse Mound they could dress that would be light enough that then we can stack in place and now put a few extras on top of those gray stuff like that that's the best part I think of the season in Game of Thrones I like I just I looked at I still I'd ever watch the show really but I watched the I look at the costumes and you know that even a dress that like somebody wears for a half a scene and his on screen for three minutes has the most amazing embroidery and beadwork that you've ever seen on a costume out of mainstream work anyway so I completely non sequitur there no that's alright it's an episode of non sequitur I won't give one final recommendation if it's for the movie book-smart yep yes Olivia Wilde's directorial debut yes it's on theaters it's a wide release you know but in it might be theaters from just a couple more weeks because it didn't do so well for the Mohali break but so highly recommend I'm so glad to hear that's a trailer I loved the trailer those two actresses seemed amazing and what I've been hearing is is this like a super raunchy comedy that's not so that threads this interesting needle of being both really funny and really true and raunchy and really sweet all the same and that's all true and I think the easy pitch was this is super bad but two girls right right and it's even easier but is one of those times way more common yes and one of the one of the leads is Jonah Hill sister event so like it's very easy to make that comparison as a way to get people in theaters I think it's a much better movie in Superbad and so Brad's I think has some great you know heartfelt moments but this movie and you know I can't relate to the kids in this right these are 18 year olds in high school and they're to girls like I don't know what it is that makes it true but it just felt true that's awesome I've been tweeting about it and saying you know get out there if you want more look if there are good movies it's important that we go see them in the theater to support them cuz this that's how that's how you get your movies if we want if you want less TV and more movies go see movies I read this wonderful defense of Jupiter ascending that was like hey it may be really problematic but less than what ciao skis for going out way over their skis to try out stuff like this that's original and different agree racer - yeah I mean please more speed

Technology faculty and students there recently built a robot fish why because it could lead to a new wave of prosthetics and now we're all hooked at RIT that creative team of engineers is onto something life-changing learn more about the project at RIT dot edu slash untitled now all the show welcome to still untitled the atoms have a project I'm will I'm Adam and I'm norm it wouldn't be a proper podcast down a clip to the problem Saudi o engineer is off today it's been a hot minute since we all got together alas we actually we didn't podcast us because we had Adams Maker Faire Sunday Sermons the episode last week so hope you all out there enjoyed that so we have quite a bit I don't think we've podcast together since we talked about Avengers endgame I was ok I went and saw it again I haven't yeah still I cried even more I found it even more affecting I feel really bad because John wick came out this week and I haven't seen it yet either I haven't I haven't either I didn't need time to watch that so I yeah I like I wanted to go back and go see both of those movies and just have not a head time detective Pikachu out I want it I kinda want to see that out because it looks like a real amazing it looks like a Roger Rabbit of our time yeah yeah murder mystery yeah but um but endgame ok you want to see it did you see it in like iMac source auricular theater I just saw it on a regular theater twice was it packed still yeah both times in fact yeah we had to we saw it at the Alamo Drafthouse the second time and yeah we were off to the side Wow I'm glad to hear that people who are watching the box office are nervous now because the drop off it's closed its run in some places overseas I think it's wrapped up its run in China and so it might not beat avatar as the highest-grossing film ever even though everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion Wow I would actually we do that after the first weekend rest in peace did you notice things in this new viewing that you didn't the first time or do you connect with pieces more I connected with it more so my wife has not been as assiduity all the Marvel films that I had I'm shocked yeah sir but I will tell you that after we went and saw Captain Marvel we were both so like high on Marvel love that we came home and immediately watched guardians 1 yeah and then the next night we watched guardians 2 and the next night we watched I do we didn't watch Civil War no a few nights later we watched Winter Soldier mm-hmm and then when we went and saw endgame we came back in the next night we watched Ragnarok and we finished that last night so it's like it's just back in that lovely it was just like going back into that lovely universe and I found it even more affecting the second time I found emotional beats hit me nice and hard and Wow I love it when Captain Marvel goes hello Peter Parker yeah I I am so excited for like 10 years from now and somebody writes the how this all happened book because if you look at the run from like Civil War Black Panther probably Civil War Civil War through Ragnarok and Black Panther all the stuff that came out in the back half of phase 3 leading up to endgame in infinity war and like they didn't they didn't really mess up like there's no they had a million different teams working on these movies they were releasing two or three a year which is rigid like it's ludicrous it's ludicrous and then you watch Ragnarok which we finished last night and it's like I love that my primary question after watching it is how did a studio get out of this movies away right just to let it happen with Tyco ITT's all of his in jokes from New Zealand that the rest of the world won't get and still it has this magical well Sekar is space New Zealand we've established that now into you know after movie 10 they realized they couldn't once they'd done we're done with the origin stories they realise they in order to keep things fresh they had to give creative control and you know credit to the producers there to hire directors who are different and have unique visions and you know it they knew that a movie this big was gonna have the beats to sell right right the big yeah yeah and yet I think that Lucasfilm having done such extensive reshoots on rogue one that we now know we're deeply extensive and solo seems like an entirely separate film being shot with solo if we can get to next year it's an e it's an easy thing to screw up well and and and and I that's I I'm not saying that I know why Lucasfilm screwed up I don't know if they got in the way or got away - out of the way like and that might not be a knowable thing I think that with with the Star Wars universe and it's all under the same umbrella on their Disney although that of course Marvel has its own executive team won of course Lucas as an executive team in terms of what the fans expect with the with Marvel there's a comic universe that the first like six movies were really reverent - right and it got to a point where the cinematic universe could be its own thing and people would trust that right with Star Wars there's nothing but the movies that people hold as the most precious thing and maybe that's why that could be with more weight into it that I just I feel like like if you look at Thor as the example right it opens it opens you and we were talking with us before the show it opens a little bit slow it's not it isn't just an absolute barn burner it isn't like the opening of guardians - yeah when they have this incredible fight and it's like all that picks up right where it left off before and watching guardians 1 and 2 and Ragnarok which I had kind of put all under the same heading in my head they're radically different films and guardians 1 & 2 are just an unfettered super fun romp all the way through I mean Ragnarok opens with how did I get here with it that's right listen I'm just saying having watched the to it in the same week Ragnarok feels like a little bit slower - to bring you into this like weird wonderful universe but at the same time Ragnarok opens with Led Zeppelin which is the thing you've kind of been waiting for from for the entire time and then they play the song again at the end of the movie and it's so satisfying and what oh I was thinking about this because I was watching the finale last night and I was thinking of I read this wonderful analysis of Zack Snyder and the DC EU the DC yeah yeah in that they said one of the difficulties is that Schneider sets up these surpassingly beautiful visual moments but does not frequently support them with the emotional beats that bring the catharsis yeah so it's Superman standing there getting healed by the Sun but you haven't been drawn in so it's not affecting you the same way whereas Ragnarok when Thor is following the bolt of lightning into the you know all the enemies yeah you are it's like tae Kyo Tychus showing this is how you do it what I also love that someone like talk of where tt didn't need to Emilia jump into the next door like he's directing Akira as his next movie and that's a what a wonderful decision to do that and not be locked into even though of course having huge ownership into the Thor that we now know in this version of Thor yeah you can still let that go here's here's the thing though this this version of a cure is now in it entering its 20th year of development I think well and everyone's been attached to some yeah they're Cameron Chris Columbus Chris Cunningham like yeah yeah it's it's everybody but not Chris Columbus Chris yeah not Chris Columbus but yeah it's it's um yeah I'll be interesting if that gets made same thing with Snow Crash right it's one of these like I would love a Taika Waititi so crash oh my god by the way I'm halfway through fall oh you have it yeah oh my god I even went fishing on Twitter I was like man I'm really jealous of all these people send you a picture of the copy and just wait explain explain fall is Neal Stephenson's new book which involves Dodge forest a character from REM d yeah which is I might go back and read ream D and dine around and it is worth rereading I I want to reread it after it's probably my least favorite of the Neil Stevenson well it's way outside his normal dive and yet I love REM d in the same way that like Vineland is a great pension novel yeah it's it's fun and funny and sweet summer land and Chabon right right right it falls outside their normal Canon but it's still really look I love don't say anything about the plot I does it have a potentially Neil gave me a tiny synopsis and I wished I hadn't had it I wanted to go in super cold like think who's it for fans of fans of Neil fans of seven yves fans of so i will say this and this is anna spoiler it actually covers it active so i'm halfway through and we're already like twenty five years in the future of reamed green be was present day way marine be is absolutely present day so this is 25 years from there but from now and he is positing a very interesting and what deeply feels like a deeply realistic future our facts are something you choose based on your bribe is easier to write a story set ten to twenty years in the future or a story set a thousand years in the fuel like it's easier to do the look i'm not a science fiction author so i have no answer I mean thousands is easier bill Gibson said writing a science fiction story said in the present is the hardest thing you did yeah right like yeah with pattern recognition and naturally the the what the blue ant trilogy or whatever right All Tomorrow's no boot country a pattern record and I can remember the last one but I liked it a lot ok all the Marvel films we set five years in the future what's that a lot more films are now said oh yes so they are so they are is it takes three years for one to come out no they're gonna be helped I think they're probably got it covered well what do you think the Marvel films can go from here well spider-man they're gonna go to Europe I think yes that is that is the next film coming out in a month or half thing well done dad Joe well I'm actually really excited about as guardians of the galaxy if that becomes if that is the the film like well I saw so gun James Gunn who's back in directing guardians three has said that guardians three will deal a lot more with Rockets backstory and I'm being super excited yeah because frankly and looks what we're now gonna talk spoilers like when rocket and nebula hold hands and endgame it affected me that might be one of the most affecting bits and gun was saying that rocket is him well the misfit that rocket is as the character gun most identifies with he's a he's a he's a misanthrope who becomes whatever the an anthro I don't know without but in terms of escalation right if there if we spent 10 years and 22 films building up to this with that because Galactica's and I don't know or can it does even make sense to have a type of build up like I don't know it isn't it more important like this are the stakes and because we've talked about this in the past when other reasons like there's a whole trend of movies that we didn't really like because the world being at stake every time got boring Mission Impossible right if Dennis works because yes one it is the universe at stake and they hammer that and but it's also very personal it is their friendship the friends that they lost anymore as dad so I think I think that I my hope is that they'll spend a few years introducing new characters yeah I mean they they have mutants and Fantastic Four and some other folks to integrate and that gives them an opportunity now smaller stakes stories it's true for a while where they while they build to the next the next the next ten years I think it's gonna be Peter Parker I think what they have the luxury of knowing that they can map out a 10 year plan is the the audience grows up with the characters I'm really curious if they're gonna do a Falcon Captain America film to me TV show oh right that was him and Sebastian Stan that's right yeah hey I saw a leta battle angel that was amazing dude I watched it twice in theaters so this is the thing is I didn't yeah I didn't know what we're gonna get I didn't you know you never know what yeah and then so one of my oldest friends a screenwriter was like oh he's like it's totally decent there's no villain but she's great I and I agreed there isn't really there is a villain the villain is the world kind of yeah and you know but I thought it was fantastic I really enjoyed the spit out of it and I when we in the Canon of PJ pg-13 movies choosing one f-bomb hers after she jams and breaks off her Despoiler after she jams her fist into the eye of the villain it snaps off her arm as she says your mercy that is such and that is a transition from because it's James Cameron who wrote the script consolidating several of these books Ryan in the in the manga that villain who's there he has those tentacles yeah he takes a different direction because I believe in the manga he's secretly in love with her and fated with her right there is that very much thing where she gets reduced to nothing but essentially an arm yeah and for someone you know having a robot body like that is nothing how could she get out of this way he the way he and Robert Rica's brought that scene and and like scripted the action around it it is worth seeing this was I was really I was really loved watching hotel or something or I watched it in a hotel in a big screen yeah Roza us all SARS plays Aleta yeah I was terrific performance there's a few uncanny valley moments her face is a little too smooth in a couple spots but I didn't really mind that there's no character there well they said that if you watch the very first trailer for that oh yeah that eyes much bigger the eyes are smaller it turns out making the eyes bigger helps with the end cap the pupils sorry Oh bigger ass and it helps with the end they shrunk the eye size a little bit they made the pupils bigger because then you don't have to believe it's a human yeah I mean this is why this is why if you're doing something with weird CG animation like I do for them yeah yeah then it's better to do cartoons than right people because you don't get skis now um I forgot to mention this Julie was asking me yesterday how many Valkyries are caused playing these days and in question I my experience was I couldn't call to mind more than a couple that I'd seen recently yeah yeah and maybe at comic-con we'll see a lot more definitely she asked about hella I mean cuz I've seen a bunch I've seen a hell hell I've seen a ton and really wonderful versions of it and down and creative made once and I think hellas is striking because the makeup is so much part of it and there's a Challenge and building mm-hmm they the headdress the antlers and Valkyrie is only in her final outfit her battle outfit right the work I mean I just I want so if you do cosplay as Valkyrie Pope would tweet to us or me or put it in the comments because I'd love to see your Valkyrie costume I think there should be more I love Thompson yes so amazing so I love the Tessa Thompson scrapper Valkyrie when we first see her when she's obviously hammered can't work her ship like you know it's so good you know what a good bottoms that movies that try and play with that comedy real stakes and comedy stakes have is it's easy to lose track of what stakes I'm supposed to care about and amazingly Ragnarok does never it never loses which stakes are important and which stakes are jokey and yet you know Jeff Goldblum well being ludicrous and ridiculous is still a scary villain he's still dangerous so there's a great if you want to know more about Chuck about Thor Ragnarok there's a great podcast that a friend of site Chuck when dig and Anthony Carboni knew called Thor rag to talk and they break down and I think a minute of our two minutes of each or maybe it's a five minute chunk of the V of each each episode is only talking about five minutes they get a guest each week Wow so they bring in like they they broken the movie in these little tiny bits and if made a podcast and they've made a podcast series out it's a very good name for that type of podcast is when they did the Hamilton once long ever episode oh yeah dissect yes thing the room where it happened is that Avon freeze it's it's a lovely pocket I highly recommend it okay can we jump back to something a minute ago me so we were talking about Star Wars and how they did massive reshoots on solo and and Roberge one I mean and and I think we all ended up on the same page with last Jedi I mean I it is I think my favorite Star Wars movie at this point but it's interesting to me they did massive reshoots on rogue one and it turned out really well like that I think that movie works on every like it tells a really compelling story at the end I'm really sad about the way it ends but yeah really the perfect way for that movie day so really I agree and solo kind of felt Falls a little flat but but they had a somewhat like how do they have a similar path like how did they do it right with one and swing and Miss right I this is I have this is the billion dollar question yeah on one hand you have I from what I understand they from the interviews with him Tony Corolla right one of the producers of broke one did was key and instrumental to those reshoots and he's a an amazing writer and and actually an amazing director in his own ring Michael Clayton's one of my favorite movies of that genre of I don't even know what you'd call that genre it's like the Alan Pakula you know 1970s parallax view type films that you know good Miller but again these kind of things I could only imagine when you fire two people that have already shot most of a movie and you bring in Ron Howard I these are things that nobody outside the studio will ever fully know the actual story on I just resolved myself to knowing that you were never gonna know obviously they were trying to make a great movie that stuck and something didn't quite gel so on a completely different note did you read the thing yesterday about Last Crusade Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade about the about the screenplay No so that movie had rewrites Gary Whitta a friend of a friend of the site and maja grunting screenwriter yeah posted about yesterday all day got the Lincoln send it to you gnomes can put in the show notes and you should absolutely read it because it goes through and it it compares the original draft that somebody found yeah recently right to the shooting script it was actually shot and it goes through and explains the the beats in a really interesting way and the way they dsq like the way that movie escalates over time so the threat is constantly ramping up versus like originally for example in the original script that was written by the credited screenwriter if I can't remember it as I've thought in my head they when Indy goes to his dad's house he finds his housekeeper dead in the house which immediately sets a tone that this is a life or death peril versus my dad's missing right he's gone he's gone off he's gone off right on a walkabout you know there's there's the Brotherhood Brotherhood of the cruciform sword was originally a minion of the Sultan who's working with the Nazis so he's just an garden-variety bad guy Nazi Nazi stooge yeah versus a person who has been working with a group for thousands of years protect protect the secret yeah and it's it's like these tiny tiny tiny little changes that made that movie a phenomenally bit like I can't imagine what the movie would have been like as this the way the script was originally described fascinating that that kind of unpacking there's a really great documentary or no it was a long-form article about the making and we talked about this on the podcast the making of the thing yeah how having three two or three months between the interior photography and the exterior up in Alaska carpenter basically edited the whole film saw ways in which he could make it more efficient change the shooting skip radically because they'd shot almost exactly this script and then because of these efficiencies there's a one character that dies and it's never explained or it's never actually clear who kills them but it doesn't matter cuz you're not paying attention - yeah isn't that awesome I mean they kind of I mean we saw a glimpse of it when went for the Stanley Kubrick exhibit you saw the Spartacus script and all his handwritten note resin and all those things in oh wow I mean we would love kind of a guy script writers script editors commentary well and I mean with Kubrick I've come to a canoe the mythos is that Kubrick was like every frame was drawn carefully and he shot exactly I don't think that's the case at all I don't think you looking at this exhibit yeah yeah I think that Kubrick shot as much as he possibly could mm-hmm so that when he got into the Edit room he could the film that came out of the Edit Bay could be what it wanted to be that he had all the coverage necessary to let the thing unfold in and of itself and I is it amazing that's a wonderful way to work but it's very different than the the mythos of the hyper precision right and it just happened to say because he has a great eye every shot that he shot was pub fantastic right and that's why the cream of the crop is that good well and it's also possible that his process changed from the time you made Spartacus to the time you made eyes wide shut because that was about 3540 years Iommi is before we continue this week I wanna let you know that still

fan fusion in Phoenix fan fusion was fantastic your first time time at Phoenix fan fusion it was fantastic a little alliteration and you did an incognito real incognito this time tell us about your well liked it was how people I was hitting the floor I brought a costume I brought a costume that I had not worn in public before well actually I tell a lie I wore this costume actually in order to in order to go see endgame with a Koosh or oh nice and hold on just a second I'm looking at sorry yeah my costume was a captain america civil war suit built by robert Fitch and Kevin Gossett okay and they specifically used the same techniques to build this suit that the original movie suit was which is it's all sewn out of four way stretch dance fabric lycra okay but the patterning on it is a screen printed pattern to make it look like it's ballistic nylon yeah oh my god the trick to get the actors comfortable wearing these suits all that well it turns out what a huge expense on a Marvel film Deborah deulim and Landis told me this a huge expense in the Marvel Universe is getting the actors out of their costumes so they can eat oh wow I'm getting them back in like you lose you could lose a couple of hours of production time with that and so they they started making cap suits more wearable and apparently by Winter Soldier at Civil War he's like oh this is super comfortable I can wear this all day long I don't need to take it off so you have the helmet I had the helmet you're walking around I put it on I did not shave my mustache okay all right don't save my beard so our take on cap yeah what's that your take on cap it's my take on cap old man cap well I typically that comes little aged cap norm I'm having the old cap so I walk I'm coming down the escalator into the main vendor floor mm-hmm and I'm 1/3 of the way down the escalator when the guy behind me goes hey Adam I got this I got found about half a dozen more times you need to build some bad costumes that's the only way out of this problem I think you're positive you're plausibly right it was a fun costume to wear it's very easy costume to wear it's super comfortable it feels really good I have a pair of big foam boobs inside to actually fill it out and I'm gonna have to add biceps I noticed in the mirror I look a little like you're Thor muscle suits too much oh yeah way too much no I need this it's muscle by muscle I can put into this thing how was the convention the convention is great the convention floor it felt really big was it the Phoenix Convention Center then I go in downtown not sure okay I think so I'm sorry I guess it's like a whirlwind the people were great the people that we dealt with there was great I got to spend a bunch of time in the green room I did not approach Jeff Goldblum what I he's too important to me I was the one he's the one you can't talk to well no the Harrison Ford I did I Harrison Ford took came over and talked to me okay that's too pee-wee Herman sorry Paul Reubens was there but this lovely sweet sweet little girl maybe five years old started saying something about atoms and her dad said well here's an atom and she started telling me facts about atoms that's amazing that we're amazing like she was super super on her physics that's right I had five just fully explaining to me how atoms worked and then she says and they're responsible for electricity and I said well actually a part of them is responsible for electricity and she was like what and I was like well there's components of an atom a neutron proton and electron electrons make electricity and she was like I gotta tell you something and then she like downloaded some more information it was um it turned out to be Summer Glau as daughter I believe that's awesome just adorable and very sweet that's really it was it was a very fun green room very lovely Nichelle Nichols was there I also didn't approach her again in the green room is it's a private time it is it is and then I went out and I took pictures with 750 people in a five-hour marathon that I have not done such a thing before how I have to tell you the next day I was sore across my whole body just from the kind of all that energy it was really it was fabulous the fans were great the costumes phenomenal someone has a rocket like a Saturn 5 or ya know she was a falcon heavy giant like nine and a half foot tall that's amazing wearing a spacesuit that's phenomenal there was a hell girl there was a hell boy this young woman came up in the what is the Star Wars dancing character with the - oh like the Twilight I think so girl yeah woman came addressed as that and said that actually she got into cosplay because of watching stuff on tests and now she was a featured cosplay speaker at the fan fusion that's rad that the the fan love was real and abiding and really made me glow it was delightful well that's so cool yeah there's a some could cause play at Maker Faire and they're trying to bring more of cosplay as a track the second year they've done it right yeah yeah they brought in a bunch of cosplayers ex sisters check craft and we all judge cosplay contest and prop building contest and just really great stuff and the guy who won like the best prop made the exoskeleton from Elysium oh yes yeah was that an RPF build is that the guy who's been doing it so yeah yeah and it's one of those things that like I don't know anyone who likes the film Elysium I like the way it looked but it doesn't matter 'full yeah it doesn't matter if you like the film the props you can still love making the costume the props from it because you're gonna still appreciate all of that design indeed in costuming so we didn't talk about the end like speaking of promising costuming like the end it's ready to have him on either by meter we had to talk we haven't talked about the end of Game of Thrones here I don't think and that's a television show yes I mean there was a lot of kerfuffle about the end of the show yeah but we had an opportunity a couple of times to see the props and costumes and person yeah and they have them 18 t stores around the country oh really still really it's all say on HBO is owned by oh yeah yeah it was amazing like like the work that the people that worked on that show did was the most amazing I've ever seen in terms of props and costumes really those things were built they those dresses and the armor and all that stuff was built to withstand a level of inspection that would never happen on TV so awesome so even I know you don't watch the show out yeah but I will I don't even buy your product you don't need to but the thing I should I'll give us on you links to a for every episode this past season because every episode this last season was going hour and a half basically a movie that they've made for like 15 million dollars yeah each episode and they do a behind the scenes piece they had a team on set to film like the writing of and the best stuff is always with the prop makers and the set designers and they talk about very openly about the kind of problem solving the unique problem solving I do for these giant battle scenes for example how do you get giant stacks of zombie carcasses to lay around a castle you have the prop team make a thousand bodies no that's right that's super expensive super heavy and they came with the way to basically vacuum for mixing you make a vacuform Lauryn burps my own corpse Mound they could dress that would be light enough that then we can stack in place and now put a few extras on top of those gray stuff like that that's the best part I think of the season in Game of Thrones I like I just I looked at I still I'd ever watch the show really but I watched the I look at the costumes and you know that even a dress that like somebody wears for a half a scene and his on screen for three minutes has the most amazing embroidery and beadwork that you've ever seen on a costume out of mainstream work anyway so I completely non sequitur there no that's alright it's an episode of non sequitur I won't give one final recommendation if it's for the movie book-smart yep yes Olivia Wilde's directorial debut yes it's on theaters it's a wide release you know but in it might be theaters from just a couple more weeks because it didn't do so well for the Mohali break but so highly recommend I'm so glad to hear that's a trailer I loved the trailer those two actresses seemed amazing and what I've been hearing is is this like a super raunchy comedy that's not so that threads this interesting needle of being both really funny and really true and raunchy and really sweet all the same and that's all true and I think the easy pitch was this is super bad but two girls right right and it's even easier but is one of those times way more common yes and one of the one of the leads is Jonah Hill sister event so like it's very easy to make that comparison as a way to get people in theaters I think it's a much better movie in Superbad and so Brad's I think has some great you know heartfelt moments but this movie and you know I can't relate to the kids in this right these are 18 year olds in high school and they're to girls like I don't know what it is that makes it true but it just felt true that's awesome I've been tweeting about it and saying you know get out there if you want more look if there are good movies it's important that we go see them in the theater to support them cuz this that's how that's how you get your movies if we want if you want less TV and more movies go see movies I read this
