56:05 Question of the week: Run-times...what are your opinions? How long is too long for a film? I find most films I want to watch these days are 2 hours or more. It seems harder and harder to find a 90-minute movie. I'm not against long films (my girlfriend thought I was crazy for watching The Irishman), but after a long day of work I'd rather watch a 1hr episode of tv over a 2.5 hr movie. - JakeTS19921

Thanks for that recommendation of Keanu Reeves' Side by Side! Also, QUESTION: If you were given the opportunity to develop a film from a MAJOR studio (In a directing, producing, OR writing capacity) What kind of film would you make??????? - Drew Torres
Is there any genre you guys just can’t ever get into? For whatever reason, I can’t bring myself to ever care about the gangster/mobster/crime genres at all, in general. Sorry, Scorsese and Ritchie. - Ethan Krieger

Show notes

News:
9:18 Director J.D. Dillard and 'Luke Cage' writer Matt Owens have been tapped to develop a new Star Wars film for Disney.16:55 Robert Pattinson’s full Batman costume revealed in set photos.26:25 Chris Pratt has teased Jurassic World 3 as being the Avengers: Endgame of JP movies.35:20 Eli Roth has signed on to direct a Borderlands film, from a script by Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin.
Trailer Time:
39:57 Run
Question of the week:
44:28 What's your opinion on how movies have transitioned from film to digital, AESTHETIC-wise. Do modern audiences even notice? Also, same thing for modern Cinematic vs TV aspect ratios. Do these things impact story telling or overall visuals?
50:27 Hey boys, so as per question of the week, I feel like the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6 is better than the theatrical cut, overall. It's still not a perfect film, but it IS the better of the two cuts. That's the one big example I can think of where studio interference made the film better rather than worse. I actually just rewatched it as I have the Halloween Series Collector's Edition Series on Blu-Ray!

1:16:13 Question of the week: Everybody is always up-in-arms when they hear about "Studio Interference," but do you know when it's been a good thing? IMO, Thor Ragnarok benefited from the somber Odin stuff, as opposed to the goofy homeless Odin that was cut.
