TRAILER TALK:
To kick things off, Carter and I talk about Monster Hunter, and how this is not the first Capcom licensed property to hit the big screen from director Paul W.S. Anderson, nor starring Milla Jovovich. And, frankly, we don’t think it will be the last. Even so, we have a good time chatting about our… reserved thoughts on Monster Hunter, whether we even like big-monster movies to begin with, and if fans of the video game will be satisfied with what this movie has to offer.
Then we talk about David Fincher’s upcoming Netflix feature, Mank. Carter grounds us on what to expect with Fincher’s latest picture, and carries us into 1930’s Hollywood and the creation of what many consider cinema’s greatest achievement, Citizen Kane. This sparks a really interesting discussion regarding Netflix’s annual bid for the Oscars, how their pursuit of big-name directors is a sign of a changing corporate culture at Netflix, and how both of us pretty much agree that Mank will probably turn out great.
And finally, we chat Jiu Jitsu, an upcoming less-than B-grade martial arts pic featuring Nicolas Cage. I asked Daniel to introduce us to Jiu Jitsu with a brief call-in so look forward to hearing everyone’s favorite WWE fan and his infectious excitement. Then, Carter and I take the mantle as we the joy of candy-style movies where just from the trailer you know what you’re gonna get, and if things pay off well, Jiu Jitsu is going to be a great time.
