Hollywood Is Broken. Let’s Start a Movie Studio | The Big Picture | Ringer Movies

[@ivemusic]

I can say, during the last 5 months I listened to 95% of all episodes available. This is the best episode for me by far :D Greetings from Germany btw :)

[@commaJim]

Hello Germany!

[@dudagemcdooderson2974]

This is a brilliant idea for an episode, really enjoyed it. Nicely done Sean and Amanda!

[@FlowPro203]

Mark my words, this Podcast is going to EXPLODE in the next 6 months, we have 2 powerhouse leaders for us Amanda & Sean MF Fennessey, we're eating SOO so good! Excellent content lately just cant get enough, Bravo!

[@blinksstayfresh2524]

Their draft shows are the best!

[@tayhines2535]

I definitely nerded out over the studio building exercise lol. Fun.

[@richiejrich]

I think figuring out a way to add a spending cap on the build a studio exercise would be an interesting twist.

[@richiejrich]

Like an Aaron Sorkin would command a higher amount of your budget compared to a Florence Pugh

[@cubetime9261]

"Jorge Luis Borges is a hack" - Amanda Dobbins, multiple occasions.

[@Rachel-ic7cn]

Definitely need to keep track of all of these picks for the next few years and keep track of whose fictional studio is winning

[@_Waingro]

Dobbs " We haven't mastered the ocean yet." Sorry James Cameron 41:30

[@agoodday9247]

"Box office poison, Ryan Gosling? " is hilarious 😂

[@Random-Stranger]

Agree with Sean's point about "Hyperion" being an untapped IP - it's one of the remaining iconic literary sci-fi series belonging to the same category as "Dune" that has a lot of gravitas when treated with respect and could become the next big franchise with the right director & screenplay writer. Personally though, I think it's much better served as a high-budget prestige TV series given how heavy it's themes are.

[@TepidShark]

It might be just be to my interests but I'm reading an interesting book called Roadshow: The Fall of film musicals in the 1960s. The first chapter is about how Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music were all massive successes that came within 6 months of each other. The rest of book details the making of all the big budget musical (mostly) disasters that were made to capitalize on the success of those three.

[@rawkhoppa]

So excited Book Club is gonna be back! Haven’t read Making Movies since film school, will be great to revisit alongside a Lumet episode

[@TwoSlyy]

No Villeneuve or Nolan in director is kind of shocking.

[@Gypsywasteland]

PTA too. Im guessing they are all too old idk

[@thebrockman12]

Yeah the fact sean didn't go PTA is kinda surprising. But he's also not a massive box office draw over the past 15 years

[@JasonValenzuela]

Sean's "Wonka Sucks, Ambulance Rocks!" take is his wildest form cognitive dissonance, and I have a ton of faith in his taste. One is made for actual children (and they LOVE it) and the other is made for adult male children (and they LOVE it). 1 coin, 2 sides.

[@Tyc9909]

god, i need the bill hader movies so bad

[@Soldred]

Bill Hader is such a big brain move.

[@bebaguette766]

Can't get used to seeing them live. Sean's new beard!

[@T_Syrep]

I really need somebody to make Brandon Sanderson novels into movies. Some fantasy franchise that’s not Marvel

[@besttennissubstack]

ringerverse needs to add a Watch Guy show called The Watches where Corey breaks down his Rolex Daytona

[@cory_mcconnell]

It’s a timex, brother 😂

[@besttennissubstack]

@@cory_mcconnell i will not stop watching ringer movies until you get that rollie

[@paige95s]

sean, your beloved jessie buckley is playing the bride in maggie gyllenhaal’s the bride!

[@jthink1984]

Amanda is favorite. 😊

[@Jippa_33]

This premise was very enjoyable 🎥

[@thejesse]

12:08 Beekeeper release date was the 12th. That maniac was only off by two days.

[@IamTheOppressor]

20:00 for the start of the exercise for anyone who wants to skip the into nonsense

[@Jippa_33]

1:09:30 grunt was savage 🪦

[@edamammy7]

The Crazy Rich Asians series and My Year of Rest and Relaxation were absolute bombshell picks in literary properties. Personally would’ve shot for a sci-fi adptation for a Ursula K. Le Guin or an Octavia Butler, or honestly-though I hate it-A Little Life, just because I can’t think of another novel that has had a greater general impact in the reading public in the last decade. Oh, and Bad Art Friend absolutely should be adapted by way of R.F. Kuang’s Yellowface.

[@jurassicmark_4688]

The Secret History would be a really hard novel to film. Possibly the least of the problems (but one you would have to address) is that all the characters are loathsome. Also, there's not much plot, which works fine in literary fiction, but not so much on the screen. Much of the story takes place inside the mind of a first person narrative, so good luck with that. The bacchanal could easily come off as unintentionally funny. Casting would be a nightmare, as all 7 major characters are eccentric, but not in a funny, broad Umbrella Academy way. I think you would have to let Donna Tartt take the first stab at the screenplay, maybe with some help from her friend Brett Easton Ellis. On the screen it might fare better as a really nasty dark comedy.

[@LuciaBellanger95]

Hyperion Cantos is a galaxy brain level pull from Sean

[@IMadeMyYoutubeNameAge17]

Big Pic is getting same views as Rewatchables 💪🏼

[@lachlangarrard6759]

Margot Robbie's Lucky Chap owns the rights to Rest and Relaxation so Greta isn't out of the question!

[@xandega]

SUCH GREAT FUN EPISODE YOOO ❤🎉❤🎉

[@BabyfaceThompson]

"Where are you at on "The Two Jakes"??" Amanda: "What do you mean??" ... this is why she does not belong here.

[@thehollywoodshuffle]

Happy for an Akela Cooper signing. She's a dynamo.

[@joemckeown2763]

Why are we still talking about Fall Guy?

[@supersupersomething]

Because you haven’t seen it yet. 🪃

[@joemckeown2763]

Went opening weekend. Bang average. 🪃

[@brodiator]

the 20 million dollar discussion is ludicrous. its 20 million! meetings???

[@HLDN1989]

To have a movie star draft for a new studio and not have Tom Holland, Ryan Reynolds or Margot Robbie in the top 5 picks is madness.

[@SheldonChoo]

Love Sean's shout out to Hyperion Cantos! I was long hoping Bradley would crack it!

[@CalumAtkinson]

i wish Joker Folie A Deux was this years ASIB opening with Venom

[@daveclark8337]

Challengers will be on MGM+ in July.

[@brentulstad3275]

Sean, please lose your razor and enter your unavoidably necessary David Letterman phase. Also . . . . movies are good.

[@peterkovic2241]

This was fun as hell. Someone should’ve picked Michael Green as their screenwriter.

[@brianbrennan5600]

Irrelevant aside but whu isnt Mary Poppins playing as a morming matinee (although I guess those are gone, but still there's room in the afternoom) at leasr 1x a month in every theatre? My son is 7 and we're almost 5 years in Mary Mania. When he was 3 we could've gone to a once a month screening. Let the lil uns dance and the grownups huddle in the back. If it came back right now in wide release we'd still happily pay $20 apiece.

[@thebackcourtmedia]

No Damien Chazelle is criminal

[@ZaidenKobe]

Love you guys

[@MikelBarajas-fy1pr]

11:23 what could this podcast be w no amanda? 🌄

[@osasunaenjoyer]

SPAIN REPRESENTED!!

[@MrGMovieReviews]

Everyone complains about celebrity apologies being insincere and then accept will smith’s fake ass self serving video saying the most fake apology ever

[@RF-ye7wu]

“Not just a man - Chris Rock”

[@stubbywankenobi1]

These studios fail after 6 months

[@lawaraya]

Would appreciate if everyone took the Great Narnia film seriously , she clearly had the opportunity to do new work but chose this, chose I lyk that she zigs when everyone wants her to zag

[@samboyer9525]

The sad part is VOD is $19.99 or $24.99 to buy while the movie was $14 to see in theaters. Also some theaters have discounts on weekdays. This the VOD does not make financial sense, especially for an action movie that is better in the theater anyway. Just a thought.

[@j.p.gonzalez9218]

Just got to wait more until that price goes down to 5 bucks

[@CjMath25]

Yes, but that’s $14 per person in the family. Or Pay $20 flat for as many that can fit in front of the TV.

[@domclegg1225]

"Rumours is mid" has got to be among Sean's all-time worst takes

[@alexreadscomics6607]

fun episode

[@Lifeissorich.]

No Leonardo DiCaprio is crazy.

[@jimbob8840]

If The Fall Guy wasn't to their tastes, something's really wrong, bc that was supposed to be a four-quadrant movie-- rom-com with action/ an action movie with romcom elements

[@jasona7789]

Amanda Dobbins adds Ks to every G. It drives me nuts.

[@GonzoGolf]

You know you know you know you know you know you know?

[@j.p.gonzalez9218]

Hot take: Last night with the devil was a better horror movie than A violent nature 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@zacharyjohnsonguitar]

Please have Bill or Wesley or somebody on to counter your guys' delusion about Challengers!

[@GabaGhoul10]

I’d rather never listen to either of them talk about movies ever again after their mind-numbingly stupid conversation about that movie.

[@_Waingro]

18:56 You said Ed Zwick is WHITE?

[@orriegeezgoldsmith4137]

Damn shame our Letterboxd Overlord Sean couldn’t get Jordan Peele because of Woke !!!

[@Rocket1276]

Question: Does Amanda actually even like movies…?

[@BabyfaceThompson]

She might like them, but she doesn't love em or care enough about em to see all the important ones and know her shit. She sucks.

[@RachelDavis705]

Hope an eccentric billionaire gives you both a call.

[@puckbond007]

This seems like a poor excuse to talk about the same 5 people you always talk about each week! Timothy Chalamet and Zendaya just don't do it for me on any level at this point (I haven't seen Challengers yet) but I don't think either are close to being movie stars let alone good actors.
