Robert can become a rugular far as I'm concerned. He has a really good way of explaining his issue with something that is clear and makes sense.

[@damoncurrie7103]

I've always been a fan of his he's good natured a classic liberal not a demigod extremist ideologue the man had the gift of gab

[@andokomando]

You should go back and watch some classic collider heroes with rmb and jon schnepp they were great together. Rip schnepp.

[@finalmidnight]

Just remember that RMB spent an entire livestream talking about how truly grateful he was for Kathleen Kennedy's body of work, and that we were privileged to have her vision of StarWars. He honestly thinks she is one of the greatest producers who ever lived, rather than someone's wife who got a job as PA with Steven Spielberg. The man is a master of cognitive dissonance and routinely uses his politics and personal relationships through which to view film productions.

[@mikelmcknight72]

Robert is enjoyable whether I agree with him on a topic or not. He seems like a genuinely nice, good guy.

[@Relugus]

They should make Fantastic Three, about the actually interesting characters Reed, Ben, and Johnny, and leave out the pointless bore Susan, whom no one likes.

What a great panel and discussion. This held my attention and was literally thought provoking . A great examination of todays writing and lack of creative effort.

[@mavezy]

Agree with Drinker, never understood why Ghostbusters 2 got the flack it got. Just watched it again earlier this morning and loved every minute of it.

[@hieronymusboss7705]

Cuz it's just a lamer version of the first one. C'mon man. Like it's not cancer, but it's not great either - and that was back when we were all allowed to have decent standards. Through the lens of current year? It's a fucking masterpiece. XD

[@reb3102]

The last two movies that truly surprised me were the first "Matrix" and "Dark City". I went into both with zero knowledge and was totally blown away. I think the Internet has spoiled movies. And movies just aren't really experimenting anymore. Just constant redoing of the formula.

[@pst5345]

because of PC culture movies now lecture ppl instead of entertaining them. And instead of messages woven into a story you have box ticking woven into a story.

[@TheRaviotar]

It wasn't as groundbreaking as either movie you cited, but a few years ago Moon gave me some of the same vibes. The Lighthouse surprised me too but that's not really the same sort of movie.

[@damoncurrie7103]

Thank you for this content on Sunday this panel should be a regular show. Sincerely praying that universe.

[@allmarknobite8726]

Very much enjoy your focus on the need for both compelling characters AND great storytelling to make movies better. I mean, what else is there? That said, your reviews, Drinker and MauLer, are entertaining and insightful. And agreed on including Robert as a regular (no shade to your other guests) for his thought-provoking perspective around story structure and the life-altering experience that movies can be. Keep up the awesome work. Y'all are critical media legends.

Talking of True Lies, I was surprised to find that a sequel was to made(script done) around 2001 and after 9/11, they cancelled it feeling that terrorism won't be considered a joke anymore .You know how the tone was in the previous one about that.

3:00:37 I have seen someone comment that his sister really enjoyed the web swinging in the original Spiderman movies which was lacking in the newer ones.

[@FreeKittensLA]

The original Dark Horse 'Aliens vs. Predator' comic series is awesome

[@easygrin1127]

Just like in the 90's the Star Wars project with Shadows of the Empire. They told a story through a novel a comic, trading cards and they all told a part of the story and respected the other platforms without trying to retcon each other.

[@AQuietNight]

Burnett's comments about Amélie seemed to be everywhere and in any catalog, like it was the only film ever made in France and by the French. I decided to have Netflix drop a copy on me and much to my surprise, I found it's whimsical style enjoyable and holding my attention. Worth a view by anyone wanting to get away from the current fare being offered by Hollywood.

[@TheRaviotar]

Yeah I remember watching it in my high school French class, it's a very charming, cozy little film.

[@danelynch7171]

All the accents are making my head spin! Where is az when you need him?! He would clear this up!

[@reesebn38]

The first Wonder Woman was successful because of Zack Snyder. He wrote it, he produced it, he cast the led, he gave it that awesome theme song.

[@pradeep_sekar]

Ya... it is not good.

[@ferrarriohh]

Really interesting around 1:50:00 when Gary checks out, RMB asks what MauLer & CD are excited about. And there is a genuine moment of inner groans from everyone thats palpable. MauLer mentions how the next Terminator *could* be incredible, but his left brain and right brain understand the duality of the topic, and admits his pessimism. So Matt Reeves has said that he actually likes walking into projects that are on the rocks or at their low points, because you get an opportunity to do things differently (aka how he wants to make the movie) because its already near-failure, so I assume the suits back the hell up. He’s certainly done it a few times. - and he’s directing The Batman.

[@dispositionguise7467]

The last time a movie blew me away because I went in with no information was Mother!. My friend took me to see it because he was interested and it was a wonderful experience.

[@SilverSlugVideos]

Drinker, how would you feel about a segment where you folks talk about the modern state of war movies, like 2010s till now. Most of the big films that really blew me away like Hacksaw Ridge, 1917, American Sniper, Lone Survivor... There really hasn't been too many shite war movies in recent years that I can think of.

[@Var_ar_Vargen]

19:59 It sounds like The Peggy Hill in Space Show, written, directed, and starring Peggy Hill. And as long as the Peggy Hills of the World are making the shows, the excrement will never stop.

I'm really looking forward to go see Ghostbusters with my dad

[@EnsignRedshirtRicky]

Making games easy and accessible is just their way of excusing dumbed-down gameplay, and level design that is large and good looking, but mostly devoid of anything useful.

[@damoncurrie7103]

Strongly agree how do you feel about games like Batman Arkham asylum where it's essentially very dumb down combat and you're just watching animation it's always had the feel of quick time events am I completely off base?

[@ThunderWarrior01]

I found Avengers game, sealed in a carrier bag in Asda carpark..i thought “my lucks to a change for the better” I traded it the next day for £8 at cex and then had to pay £5 for parking and then petrol cost too.. i ended up taking a loss.

[@marychocolatefairy]

Re the Star Wars conversation: I had a bad feeling when I heard that Disney had bought SW. And then I started seeing Disney parade floats with stormtroopers dancing around and whatnot, and I was like, seriously? I'd imagine that's the only reason that stormtroopers were a big presence in the movies- because Disney wanted to capitalize on that image. And so of course they had to have a reason for there being stormtroopers in TFA, and bam, we get a whole retread of A New Hope instead of a continuation of the story.

[@andrewmccarty3684]

Star trek is a literal reflection of the new writers and the new fans. What a horrible future.

[@JeThoreau_]

Literally not literal But yeah, figuratively, very true

[@ferrarriohh]

My 2 bits: 1) In Spidey FFH, Fury was not Fury the entire film (he was Talos playing Fury). Im getting that same vibe from Dr Strange in Spidey NWH. 2) The Eternals is the wrong format for 10+ characters. Eternals was Marvels Watchmen moment (which i wont watch because its not Alan Moore’s show), it really could’ve been a season of slower paced stories about these ageless beings living for millennia. Instead it comes off as a shoehorned in, grafted on afterthought, spliced into current mcu continuity.

[@Gengh13]

Agree, "Never let me go" is awesome, definitely don't read anything and watch it, you won't be disappointed.

[@Brownie-ms6sv]

Yeah, I knew nothing about it the first time I watched it and was blown away by it. It got me interested in Kazuo Ishiguro's books as well.

The only way to save Doctor Who is to have a massive hiatus, come back in 4 years, and have a brand new doctor wake up from where Jody’s doctor started, and say that her entire run was a delusional nightmare the doctor had, due to regeneration. You just have to outright decanonize all this sh*t, you CAN’T let this stay canon.

[@lllFeanorlll]

A great group of guys and Robert Meyer Burnett.

[@BeNice108]

The reason there shouldn't be an easy mode is because the point of the experience is to figure out how to overcome the challenge. If you're failing, you're doing it wrong, and the game shouldn't just let you win when you are making all the mistakes that should result in defeat. It would be like wanting a test to have the questions to your answers. Or wanting your targets to move to where you're aiming at a firing range, instead of improving your aim. Or wanting your martial arts instructor to let you do all the moves wrong, but give you a black belt anyway. Or get the job, despite botching the interview.

[@michaelbaker2552]

Everybody just pretends that Ghostbusters 2016 never happened. It is "the movie that must not be named." We should do the same to the Star Wars sequel trilogy; just pretend like it doesn't exist and film another sequel trilogy.

[@Katya_Lastochka]

Way ahead of you. But yeah, SW fans are more than happy to erase it from memory if the next writers want to just rewrite it. It doesnt logically follow canon so it cant be in the same universe anyway.

[@Wildjason888]

Where you living under a rock in 1999 my friend? I was 27 years old and had spent almost the entire 90s in Trinidad. And I saw an interview with the wachowskis saying that they wanted to recreate an anime they had just seen into real life.. Anime they were referencing was Ghost in the Shell which I had never seen or heard of at the time.. two clips of it aired during their Matrix interview. And they did not decide to recreate ghostintheshell but rather they made an entirely new movie using an anime aesthetic-. The Matrix looks like an anime brought to life

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

To add to RMB's question of new original hit franchises: no matter what you think about the quality, I thought the Conjuring movies and its universe (with all its awful spin-offs) was pretty successful, is still going on after almost a decade, and it became a household name among cinema audiences.

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

[@lancebaylis3169]

I genuinely held out hope for Strange New Worlds being the great last hope for Star Trek, based on not entirely hating Pike and Number One in STD's 2nd season and the Short Treks, but man, that trailer killed ALL my optimism. Cadet Uhura? Nurse Chapel? Some distant relative of Khan? Even Anson Mount, previously so excited about this role, suddenly looks like he can't wait to be free from his contract. The people making it are creatively bankrupt, and although none of them are making Star Trek, neither are they able to step outside of All The Old Things. It's kind of embarrassing. And with the budgets Star Trek has now, we SHOULD be getting the best Star Trek ever made.

kathleen must have something on one of the big wigs at lucas film, or disney. lets be honest it makes no sense otherwise. My money is on something damaging that happened long ago to her at the hands of someone powerful. Shes capitilizing on that. It would explain her deliberate destruction of thefranchise, it would also explain her pushing women into the lead roles, as she is carrying a chip on her clammy dead shoulders for something in her past. it would also really explain how she rose to the top of the franchise too..
