I laughed out loud at the clip of Gian carlos esposito pronouncing his name immediately after Dan said it. Still dealing with that I see 😂

[@crestedargo4663]

I think Dan should put that clip every time he says "Esposito", just not to have to explain the pronunciation all the times 😅 However, as an Italian myself, I understand why "Esposito" is confusing for many people abroad: most of the times, longer words in italian are stressed on the main vowel of their second to last syllable, which in "Esposito" would be on the "i". On the other hand, there are a small percentage of long words, that are stressed on the main vowel of their third to last syllable (as in "Esposito") and an even smaller percentage that are stressed on their fourth to last syllable

[@kieranburt3211]

The callback to the Dan rant was very funny 😂😂

[@Sixthedragon0720]

It was hilarious

[@CHarr1991]

It’s so funny each time he does that 😂

[@kylesetford-vn8gw]

I love that you show the clip of Giancarlo Esposito saying his name to justify your pronunciation of it lol and the seriousness of the fate of SpongeBob was pretty funny. Love the show, great way to start the new year. Cheers Dan.

The Wicked release should come with double feature showings. Watch part 1, brief intermission & then part 2 plays. Like an actual theater production. They won’t be able to play as many showings but they’ll make more money per ticket. I wouldn’t be surprised if some theaters tried that. Especially drive ins

A few theatres near me did that for Dune 2

Del Toro doing Frankenstein will be awesome. It is one of his favorite movies of all time and he wants to make it as faithful to the novel as he can which nobody in Hollywood has come close to doing correctly.

[@untitledproject1642]

Half the movies listed here are tied to universes that are either dead, dying, and/or on fire and some corporate exec is just profusely trying to put it out with thier jacket saying "its still good!" as they hold up the charred smoking bits; the rest are filled with old people on thier way out paired with new and upcoming actors to give the franchise legs and legacy; honestly the only thing I'm looking forward to is Black Mirror, Invincible Zootopia 2 and that Michael documentary

[@jamiegagnon7986]

I went to the theater and it seemed like all of the trailers for the live action remakes so it's very nice to see a more comprehensive list of movies to get excited for (I know the trailers chosen to play in front of movies are curated for certain audiences seeing the film for anyone wanting to comment)

[@Erasureeraser]

23:45 Hey Dan, huge fan of yours. As an Indonesian myself, I would like to correct your pronunciation on Timo Tjahjanto's name, particularly his last name. The "Tjahjanto" is actually pronounced as "Chah-yan-toh" as he used the old 20th century Indonesian spelling in his last name. So basically in the old spelling, "Tj" was pronounced as "C", the "J" in the middle of his last name was pronounced as "Y", so yeah it's really not that complicated. You can see his old interviews on how he pronounced his last name. It's okay Dan, it's your first time saying his name, I hope with this, you can pronounced his last name correctly next time as you did with Giancarlo Esposito's name lol. I can't wait to see our greatest Indonesian director working today to take over the Nobody sequel 🤗

[@TheFunwichHorror]

Nah baru aja pengen komen ini. Thanks bang

[@Erasureeraser]

I wonder how Chris Sanders must've felt seeing two of his animated creation, How To Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch releasing a live action remake in the same Summer. It's absolutely wild 😅

Sinners (Ryan Coogler making an original horror film? Yes please) 4. The Running Man (Remake? Sure. But Edgar Wright's directing so I'll be there) 5. 28 Years Later (Watched Days for the first time in October and I loved it. The trailer for this was good so I'm sold) 6. Mission Impossible Final Reckoning (I've enjoyed the Mission Impossible films, so I'll go to this one.) 7. Superman (May not be a DC person, but the trailer got me interested) 8. Jurassic World Rebirth. (I'm mainly interested in this for who's directing, Gareth Edward. So I'll keep an eye on this one) Honorable Mention: Thunderbolts* (If it ends up good, I'll catch it on Disney+), Havoc, Wildwood.

MI Final Reckoning (Dead Reckoning was awesome in IMAX) 6. Mickey 17 (Bong Joon Ho hasn't missed) 7. PTA Movie (self-explanatory) 8. I Know What You Did Last Summer (Loved these movies in high school) 9. A Minecraft Movie (Interested to see another Jared Hess movie after long hiatus) 10.
