@munohlow I mean, it was always the same thing: there were great, meh and bad super hero movies. Nothinh changed there. What changed however was pandemic happened and big screen movies started to struggle. Yes, you can still have smash hits like Deadpool and Wolverine but it's harder. Also the budgets skyrocketed. First Thor was able yo earn money making a bit over 400 mln in the box office. Now it would struggle to get even making getting similar amount. Also all the naysayers are trying to put rosetintwd glasses on audience head: Look, MCU was great and now it went southway. Please, we've been there. Dark World, First Avenger and Age of Ultron were not great.
Hold on. Don't you realize woke Hollywood is ruining all of our franchises? Just like they have been for the last 10 years, just like they will for the next 10 years, but you need to get mad about it every time! /S
So Tarantino is tired of rehashing Dune even though there’s only been 3 live-action adaptations in the 60 years since publication. He’s tired of rehashing Shōgun even though there’s only been 2 live-action adaptations in the 50 years since publication. Yet he sought out to see & loved the new Joker film, featuring a character who has been in 2 live-action TV shows, 8 live-action films (portrayed by 6 different actors), and dozens and dozens of animated shows, animated films, video games, comic books and books (wiki estimates over 250 projects in the 85 years since his first appearance).
Tarantino is a good director with an off-putting personality. Just let him have his nonsensical opinions and either watch or don't watch his movies. Being good at one thing doesn't mean ppl should listen to your opinions on other things. Dune isn't even a remake. Its an adaptation. I really doubt they consulted anything about the original film adaptation.
I think you're being intentionally dense. There is a difference between seeing the same movie being remade, and seeing a superhero villain being the star of a psychological thriller musical. That is something that hasn't been made. It is objectively a different experience Not to mention the fact that some of the main complaints of the movie were how different the love story was between Arthur and Harley, and the fact that Arthur WASNT THE JOKER.
@@trippersigs2248That's their business and their loss. Personally, I'm savoring everything superhero until it falls out of vogue like cowboys/westerns did years ago. OP is correct: the only thing I'm burnt out on is opportunities wasted with bad superhero movies, but I'm here for any/all superhero movies.
25:50 dammit I’ve legitimately been pondering a The People v Godzilla movie that’s just an Aaron Sorkinesque Courtroom Drama. I watched Molly’s Game right after Godzilla Minus One and thought … I’d watch a movie where Idris Elba was forced to defend Godzilla for all the property damage he’s caused. The movie would even begin with a bunch of helicopters lifting a giant necktie into the sky and dropping it over Godzilla’s head, but then he’d just appear via zoom on a tv screen in a courtroom and occasionally scream and then the prosecution would ask the court stenographer to read that back and a very bored old lady would say “Nyyyarrrrgggggggh” in a monotone voice…. Yeah I’ve thought about this way too much.
If madame web, joker 2, and venom 3 had nothing to do with the comic book characters, they'd still just be bad movies. So its not "superhero fatigue" its "bad movies based on comic book characters" fatique.
Agree about the bad timing. The Marvels couldn't expose Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau to non-Disney + audiences, or try and stave off the hate, because of the various strikes. So what Disney should have done, is what WB did with Dune II --push the movie back. As it was, the last two films that could do full court press in 2023 before the actor's strike end, were Barbie/Oppenheimer. hmmm.
The sound of the soda can opening always reminds me of how the old SW Expanded Universe novels liked to describe lightsabers igniting with a "snap-hiss"

Just watched the first Bourne movie for the first time in years. It holds up. The chase scene was fun. It’s essentially a super hero movie. Make more movies like that.
Besides zemeckis’s uncanny valley thing, i also find it equally unsettling that tom hank continuing to be like the one who does 100% cg deaging TO A CHILD. He did not need to do the mocap for the child models in the zemeckis movies
That's unfortunately been every Zemeckis film for decades. They seem to be more about something novel behind the camera rather than being good movies. Granted, he has a handful of movies in his pocket that have most likely funded him for life and beyond.

Quentin Tarantino never grew out of that phase in his life where he worked in a video store and could spout his bullshit contrarian hot takes at people and think they would assume he knows more about film than anyone else else because he works in a video store and has seen a lot of obscure movies. He’s a talented filmmaker, but he’s also an immature pseud who loves the sound of his own voice more than anything else. I can’t wait for him to finally put out his last, inevitably disappointing film so that we can all get over him. Maybe then he’ll finally get over himself.
“its a story about a miserable stuck relationship where the woman finally escapes and gets alzheimers and then her only anchor to her life is her miserable home that she cant even remember she hated” rad dude. sounds like a coooool movie. “there were heartwarming moments” “a bittersweet ending” mhm mhm
Regarding the Office... never been a fan, myself. But if you're going to remake the Office after a decade or two... Why not take the time to update it for "current" work trends?
James! Dont go out the way the real Crocodile Dundee did. We dont need the audience to learn that dark truth of how all Australians die either by shark, croc, disappearing at sea, or going down in a hail of bullets in a showdown with the cops.
Something about Agatha, is that in the last episode she mentions to his child "I can't heal you, I can't see what's going to happen to you and I can't protect you" implying that if she HAD a coven her son would live. So there is an irony that Death is making her kill all those witches to prolongate her son's life but if she didn't kill them her son's life would have been safe.
Never once did death tell her to kill those witches to prolong her son's life she killed them for fun....its what she does... before and after Nicholas....If they keep telling her story maybe she did make some kind of devils bargain...they don't say why her coven tried to kill her but at the point meet her shes already a homicidal maniac. And like you said shes SUCH a murderer that it NEVER CROSSES HER MIND to seek out witches to help....that would spoil her serial killing
It's like Zemeckis is the opposite of James Cameron. He tries new technology and it doesn't always land, but there are generally good stories, versus Cameron, who has turned out spectacular visuals but the stories are mid. We should build a James Zemeckis that's slightly bigger than both of them and take over the industry.
James and Maso, can we have an episode where you guys tell us what you reckon the US Democrats’ strategy should be for countering Republican over-the-air outreach and gaining suburban white women in and around Maricopa county during the 2026 election cycle and how to stave off a Trumpian slide towards intra-continental authoritarianism and post-Dobbs anti-intellectualism?
The recoding of Jim from the Office as the aggressor v. Dwight is one of the true terrible takes of our time. Not only is Dwight the aggressor 100% of the time, he's written as a literal fascist, a literal NARC, and a figurative corporate bootlicker. Our boys obviously aren't the first to embrace this revisionist trend, but it is never-the-less wild to see.
Yeah rewatching the Office recently was pretty eye opening into how much the internet has twisted that show around. Like you said, Dwight is just as antagonistic and Jim's little pranks are the only way he can push back without being outright aggressive.
@@Kango234 Wild, right? And Dwight bullies everyone in the office, including Jim. He's physically assaulted Jim multiple times, tried to frame Toby for possession, brought a gun to work with the safety off and fired it through the floor, thankfully not resulting in a fatality, stranded Ryan in the middle of nowhere, terrorized both Jim and Pam on Christmas to the point where Jim was bleeding, and is just the all-around villain of MOST of the series.
Jim is still a grown man “pranking” his weird coworker. He’s still extremely pathetic, insecure and childish. Imagine a grown adult man putting his coworkers things in jello because it impresses the extremely immature mean girl receptionist who’s literally engaged. Seeing that in real life would give you second hand embarrassment and shame. that’s not how a real person handles an annoying coworker. Also your reasons are over exaggerated and still not a good enough reason to harass a coworker every single day. Michael is the one who framed Toby and Dwight literally threw some snowballs at jim because Jim terrorizes him. Jim is the epitome of a loser with zero ambition or drive, always looking to harass and distract his coworkers like a child. he’s truly unlikeable and extremely immature. those are such silly and cartoonish reasons to try to justify someone bullying and harassing their weird Amish-possibly autistic-coworker. Jim would be a horrible person to work with in real life, no one would like him if he was a real person.
This!!! We evolved alongside multiple other species of humans. That looked a lot like us but not quite, and would be competing for the same limited resources as us. Therefore, we're hardwired to draw away from such, so that resources aren't overtaxed and survival is closer to being assured. Whenever people act like it's a big spooky mystery it frustrates me greatly.
I still think someone mislead Sydney Sweeney and the other young actresses about what Madame Web actually was and who was actually making it. I can't remember if it was Sydney or one of the others, but they posted promo for the film tagging Marvel Studios.....who had nothing to do with it.
The irony of the Polar Express is that apparently a ton of Gen Z’ers really love it and think it’s great for some reason that I can only assume is nostalgia for childhood
My kid (now 18) LOVED trains when he was little and he LOVED the polar express. I suggested watching it recently and the look of horror on his face made me burst out laughing. He won’t touch that horrifying movie again😂😂
How?? Where are you finding these people?? I have loathed that film with every fiber of my being my entire Gen Z life, & I know exactly 1 person who likes it (a middle-aged train man)
I'm somewhere in between these two camps and I'm honestly perplexed to hear that people have this many strong opinions about it either way tbh. As a kid i thought it was okay. I rewatched it as an adult, didnt really feel any nostalgia and still felt it was okay. I think theres some fun stuff in it, idk. Where are all of you people that love and/or hate it coming from
Someone writing for Agatha All Along clearly saw and liked The Usual Suspects back in the day, given that reveal about the Road. I agree with the final episode feeling like a big post-credits. They could have had the first half of it condensed to 5 minutes; it was glacially slow and added very little for the runtime. The ghost effect looked incredibly goofy as well. Penultimate episode was fantastic, funnily enough, but the final ep was tragic.
Wait billy being fed up with being on the road is kind of a great take away. This show is insanely layered rewatch factor is crazy good. When Kitty dies Agatha comments how “didn’t know you had it in you”
if there is 20 times as much content as there is now, I might just stop ... consuming content all together. Stat a new hobby, gardening or staring at the wall for hours....
Am I living in a different world to the House Of The Dragon reception or something? James keeps saying how poorly received & disliked it is but my understanding is it is overwhelmingly popular & is managing to get people excited about the GoT universe again? Am I crazy? Where is James seeing all this hate for HOTD that I am completely missing??? 😅😅😅
@KIager yeah be he also gave his stamp of approval to the last few seasons of GoT. He checked out of this world when all that TV money & fame started rolling in
I used to be the kind of person who constantly complained about remakes and sequels, until I started actually going to new movies. And then I realized there have always been new movies, I just never went out of my way to see them before. This year I've seen the challengers, love lies bleeding, the substance, conclave, Megalopolis (I know haha), Cuckoo, long legs, maxxxine (which I still count even tho it's a trilogy), and I watched the Oscar shorts at cinemark. I still believe marketing for original movies is abmissal compared to Avengers movies but I don't feel like all movies are remakes anymore.
I might pay good money to hear Quentin Tarantino reading the transcript of this, with Robert Rodriguez reading Maso's parts. I mean, I probably wouldn't, but it's a valid expression.
The predators who looked like us who we didn't like? The boys are talking about the other species of the human genus we killed off to be here. Dropping science bombs.
I gotta big time agree with James, I think Joker Folly of Two’s legacy as “the movie that is a middle finger to fans of Joker” is something Todd Phillips has lucked into despite the movie not ever feeling like it was remotely incendiary
House of the Dragon season two is great outside of some poor pacing and the fact that it’s literally unfinished (fuck WB). George Martin and people on Twitter bitch about it relentlessly because it made a few changes from the source material, but it’s a very strong season of television.
People always say it's "superhero fatigue" whenever theres a string of bad movies/shows, all it takes is one good one and people immediately stop saying that.
I don't agree with mason's argument that todd phillips made it difficult for future directors to get more creative freedom on big budget movies. It's always been that way. Studios would never let creatives have major control anyways. if Phillips didn't deliver a 1 billion grossing movie with the Joker which was made on 50M budget he would have never got the creative freedom he did with Joker 2. He's not a norm just an exception. Its insane to only look at Joker 2 bombing and get stressed by the idea that maybe creatives should have less control with big budget movies when there is stuff like Sony's SPUM movies, Ant man 3, Captain Marvel 2, Aquaman 2, The Flash and Transformers 6 are ones made with huge studio oversight and meddling and none of them did well at the box office. Studios will always get in the way no matter what; that's never going to change even with a hugely successful movie like Barbie which people were enthusiastic about, Greta Gerwig had to handle many studio notes. When it comes to big IP we past that point that's what QT is celebrating, even if he was halfway through his filmography he would enjoy the idea of another director giving the studio, audience a middle finger, that's just the kind of person he is.
you missed the entire point of what he was saying and your logic doesn’t even make sense. of course it’s going to affect future movies, even big blockbusters. you literally defeated your own argument in this comment. you’re saying studios already have complete control but that’s the whole point, they give little creative freedom and now they will really restrict any creativity or unique ideas. it was already hard enough and now it’s even harder, that’s the point. Such dumb logic. It doesn’t matter if Philips got freedom due to the first joker, it’s still going to affect directors who make good movies because they’re less likely to get the same chance that Philips got now.

Gee, it's almost like half of what comes out of Tarantino's mouth is said simply for the sake of being a contrarian edgelord.

The recoding of Jim from the Office as the aggressor v. Dwight is one of the true terrible takes of our time. Not only is Dwight the aggressor 100% of the time, he's written as a literal fascist, a literal NARC, and a figurative corporate bootlicker.
Our boys obviously aren't the first to embrace this revisionist trend, but it is never-the-less wild to see.
Its appeal lies in the fact that John Krasinski sucks, but rationally that shouldn't reflect back on a character he played at one point.
Yeah rewatching the Office recently was pretty eye opening into how much the internet has twisted that show around. Like you said, Dwight is just as antagonistic and Jim's little pranks are the only way he can push back without being outright aggressive.
@@Kango234 Wild, right?
And Dwight bullies everyone in the office, including Jim. He's physically assaulted Jim multiple times, tried to frame Toby for possession, brought a gun to work with the safety off and fired it through the floor, thankfully not resulting in a fatality, stranded Ryan in the middle of nowhere, terrorized both Jim and Pam on Christmas to the point where Jim was bleeding, and is just the all-around villain of MOST of the series.
Jim is still a grown man “pranking” his weird coworker. He’s still extremely pathetic, insecure and childish. Imagine a grown adult man putting his coworkers things in jello because it impresses the extremely immature mean girl receptionist who’s literally engaged. Seeing that in real life would give you second hand embarrassment and shame. that’s not how a real person handles an annoying coworker.
Also your reasons are over exaggerated and still not a good enough reason to harass a coworker every single day. Michael is the one who framed Toby and Dwight literally threw some snowballs at jim because Jim terrorizes him. Jim is the epitome of a loser with zero ambition or drive, always looking to harass and distract his coworkers like a child. he’s truly unlikeable and extremely immature. those are such silly and cartoonish reasons to try to justify someone bullying and harassing their weird Amish-possibly autistic-coworker. Jim would be a horrible person to work with in real life, no one would like him if he was a real person.
It was only this morning where I was like “ I wonder what those two Aussie’s think of Agatha All Along” and lo and behold 👏🏾
52:02 There was tho. They were called Neanderthals. Almost human but not quite.
This!!! We evolved alongside multiple other species of humans. That looked a lot like us but not quite, and would be competing for the same limited resources as us. Therefore, we're hardwired to draw away from such, so that resources aren't overtaxed and survival is closer to being assured. Whenever people act like it's a big spooky mystery it frustrates me greatly.
I still think someone mislead Sydney Sweeney and the other young actresses about what Madame Web actually was and who was actually making it. I can't remember if it was Sydney or one of the others, but they posted promo for the film tagging Marvel Studios.....who had nothing to do with it.
The irony of the Polar Express is that apparently a ton of Gen Z’ers really love it and think it’s great for some reason that I can only assume is nostalgia for childhood
My kid (now 18) LOVED trains when he was little and he LOVED the polar express. I suggested watching it recently and the look of horror on his face made me burst out laughing. He won’t touch that horrifying movie again😂😂
We watched polar express every year in elementary school. It was ingrained in my childhood
Yes its the same thing with older zoomers/younger millenials and the prequels.
How?? Where are you finding these people?? I have loathed that film with every fiber of my being my entire Gen Z life, & I know exactly 1 person who likes it (a middle-aged train man)
I'm somewhere in between these two camps and I'm honestly perplexed to hear that people have this many strong opinions about it either way tbh. As a kid i thought it was okay. I rewatched it as an adult, didnt really feel any nostalgia and still felt it was okay. I think theres some fun stuff in it, idk. Where are all of you people that love and/or hate it coming from
Someone writing for Agatha All Along clearly saw and liked The Usual Suspects back in the day, given that reveal about the Road.
I agree with the final episode feeling like a big post-credits. They could have had the first half of it condensed to 5 minutes; it was glacially slow and added very little for the runtime. The ghost effect looked incredibly goofy as well. Penultimate episode was fantastic, funnily enough, but the final ep was tragic.
You're Next. GREAT final girl movie
Wait billy being fed up with being on the road is kind of a great take away. This show is insanely layered rewatch factor is crazy good. When Kitty dies Agatha comments how “didn’t know you had it in you”
Wait who's Kitty

I was reminded again what a travesty it is that Mason specifically has not read every issue of One Piece
The Last Starfighter. Takes place at a trailer park
See you in the dunny, mates.
Ahh, James.... Enjoyed Love and Thunder, but hated House of the Dragon. Makes sense to me. ;)
Sony should've made a Agent Venom movie with Joe Manganiello's Flash Thompson
Did you say cake? Yeah... Alright
if there is 20 times as much content as there is now, I might just stop ... consuming content all together. Stat a new hobby, gardening or staring at the wall for hours....
Kojima also liked Joker 2
Am I living in a different world to the House Of The Dragon reception or something? James keeps saying how poorly received & disliked it is but my understanding is it is overwhelmingly popular & is managing to get people excited about the GoT universe again?
Am I crazy? Where is James seeing all this hate for HOTD that I am completely missing??? 😅😅😅
Even George R.R. Martin is disappointed in the second season.
@KIager yeah be he also gave his stamp of approval to the last few seasons of GoT. He checked out of this world when all that TV money & fame started rolling in
I like Season 8 of Game of Thrones.
Yikes...
I got an add on this of Mark Wahlberg asking me to pray with him. Just thought I'd share
1:18:17 - 'manananana... what are we WESTVIEW today'
I used to be the kind of person who constantly complained about remakes and sequels, until I started actually going to new movies. And then I realized there have always been new movies, I just never went out of my way to see them before.
This year I've seen the challengers, love lies bleeding, the substance, conclave, Megalopolis (I know haha), Cuckoo, long legs, maxxxine (which I still count even tho it's a trilogy), and I watched the Oscar shorts at cinemark.
I still believe marketing for original movies is abmissal compared to Avengers movies but I don't feel like all movies are remakes anymore.
What about Hamtastic Weekly Planet!?!
I might pay good money to hear Quentin Tarantino reading the transcript of this, with Robert Rodriguez reading Maso's parts. I mean, I probably wouldn't, but it's a valid expression.
We need MATT SMITH to dance on top of Caraxes
I wasn't expecting Thunderbolts: Asterix. I want to see that one on the big screen 😮
Who bought Avengers Tower?
Obelix.
1:02:10 another bit of James getting too real
The predators who looked like us who we didn't like? The boys are talking about the other species of the human genus we killed off to be here. Dropping science bombs.
The Last Starfighter! It's The Last Starfighter for fucks sake hahahahaha. Sorry that just drove me crazy
I gotta big time agree with James, I think Joker Folly of Two’s legacy as “the movie that is a middle finger to fans of Joker” is something Todd Phillips has lucked into despite the movie not ever feeling like it was remotely incendiary
I saw the trailer for “Here” and it felt like someone watched Ghost Story and didn’t get it but liked the concept.
House of the Dragon season two is great outside of some poor pacing and the fact that it’s literally unfinished (fuck WB). George Martin and people on Twitter bitch about it relentlessly because it made a few changes from the source material, but it’s a very strong season of television.
They'll never get him!!
People always say it's "superhero fatigue" whenever theres a string of bad movies/shows, all it takes is one good one and people immediately stop saying that.
💕💕💕
Let's GO!
How did a movie that has one static shot cost up to 50 million dollars.
You are joking right…
Robert Zemeckis makes Ron Howard look like Lars von Trier
Did.. did James just confuse Gangnam Style and Party Rock Anthem???

I don't agree with mason's argument that todd phillips made it difficult for future directors to get more creative freedom on big budget movies. It's always been that way. Studios would never let creatives have major control anyways. if Phillips didn't deliver a 1 billion grossing movie with the Joker which was made on 50M budget he would have never got the creative freedom he did with Joker 2. He's not a norm just an exception. Its insane to only look at Joker 2 bombing and get stressed by the idea that maybe creatives should have less control with big budget movies when there is stuff like Sony's SPUM movies, Ant man 3, Captain Marvel 2, Aquaman 2, The Flash and Transformers 6 are ones made with huge studio oversight and meddling and none of them did well at the box office. Studios will always get in the way no matter what; that's never going to change even with a hugely successful movie like Barbie which people were enthusiastic about, Greta Gerwig had to handle many studio notes. When it comes to big IP we past that point that's what QT is celebrating, even if he was halfway through his filmography he would enjoy the idea of another director giving the studio, audience a middle finger, that's just the kind of person he is.
you missed the entire point of what he was saying and your logic doesn’t even make sense. of course it’s going to affect future movies, even big blockbusters. you literally defeated your own argument in this comment. you’re saying studios already have complete control but that’s the whole point, they give little creative freedom and now they will really restrict any creativity or unique ideas. it was already hard enough and now it’s even harder, that’s the point. Such dumb logic. It doesn’t matter if Philips got freedom due to the first joker, it’s still going to affect directors who make good movies because they’re less likely to get the same chance that Philips got now.
This is Tom Hanks second comic book movie.
