[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Hello everyone, and welcome to Footcandle Films here on the Mesh.TV podcast network.

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_03]: My name is Alan Jackson with me at the table at the Micro Friend table at this Chris Fry.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Chris, how are you doing?

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I am doing well. We are days away from starting the 2024 Footcandle Film Festival.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It will be our 10th annual one and we are busy.

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_04]: But we did fun time.

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not busy. I'm not doing anything.

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_04]: But we did fun time to watch a movie, which I'm looking forward to discussing.

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we did actually squeeze in time to watch a movie, and that's what we will be reviewing at the

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_03]: of our show. Our episode here will be reviewing the film Rebel Ridge directed by a Mr. Jeremy

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Sonya written by Jeremy Sonya as well. We'll be reviewing that film.

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a Netflix exclusive film, but we will be reviewing it here in a moment.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_03]: After that, we have a couple of news items to share. I've got a couple of trailers to play for some films

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_03]: that are about to be released. Both of them very soon, which is good. So we'll be showing you

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: as I haven't watched either of these trailers. I'm curious about both films,

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_03]: wildly different films, but we're going to talk about the two of them that we have.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Chris, I believe you do have a recommendation for us that you will be sharing at the end of the episode.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Of a film, you think might be worth our time if we're looking for something to do.

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, with all of my free time, I've got and I know you do too,

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: over the next couple of weeks. I mean, yeah, please load me up with some more films to watch.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I need to see something else. So sure. We'll be doing that. I Chris and I are with the

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Foccanil film Society and the A&O Foccanil Film Festival.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_03]: As Chris already mentioned, as coming up very soon, we'll talk about that a little bit later in the episode.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_03]: But let's go ahead and jump right into our main featured item on this episode, which is our review of the film, Rebel Ridge.

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I need to report a crime.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Can this was cash? Yes, man.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he just got successful.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Vicka was way too 50.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to hold on to this money.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't get his badge number, but his last name is Marston.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_06]: He needs me to leave.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks so much for coming up with us.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Alan, a couple of episodes back in one of our trailer topest portions of the show,

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_04]: where we discuss upcoming trailers, the films are coming down the pipeline.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Like we're actually going to do in this episode.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_04]: We discussed Rebel Ridge.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a new film coming out on Netflix from director Jeremy Sanya.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_04]: He flew through and green room, both of which we reviewed here on the show.

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_04]: A director releasing a film through Netflix.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Can kind of be a warning sign?

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it not good enough to release in theaters?

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it too controversial? What's the deal?

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Hold the dark.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Sanya's previous film, prior to Rebel Ridge was a Netflix film as well.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_04]: We actually passed over giving an interview on the show.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_04]: So, here with Rebel Ridge when we discuss the trailer,

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_04]: we said it looked pretty standard boilerplate, kind of thriller type action film.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_04]: But with Sanya, we'd give it the benefit of the doubt and probably check it out.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_04]: We did. Are you glad you did so?

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. And I will say, I mean just to kind of key off of what you just set up.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. On the surface, it's pretty boilerplate, it's pretty standard, it's pretty.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's what the trailer promised, which when I saw the trailer, I'm like,

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_03]: okay, I mean, probably will be a fine movie, but I'm not terribly excited about it because it doesn't

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: like there's really anything interesting or new going on.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's core, it's not.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's everything around that core that I think makes this movie work and worked where I really enjoyed watching this film.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you take the performances, which I'm sure we'll dig into a little bit,

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_03]: especially the lead there, played by Aaron Pierre playing Terry,

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Richmond and Lee character in the story.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Take the other performances we've got to, which we can write off a little bit.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_03]: But you had the performances, you had the pacing, you had the really smart use of timing and revealing information about the character as you need to know it.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Just all the elements worked to wear yes at the surface if you were to summarize a story,

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_03]: which I'm even known, did you give up some read the story?

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I did. So it's the next Marine who's, and this is again, according to the IMDB,

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: a quick little one line synopsis.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Next Marine grapples his way through a web of small town corruption

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_03]: when it attempt a post bail for his cousin, escalates into a violent standoff with the local police chief.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Again, sounds pretty boilerplate, Guy in a small town, there's some corrupt police force,

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_03]: the guys are going to have no fight against it. Okay, we've seen that, we've seen that plenty of times.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: But I think with the chemistry mixed in with this film, the performances,

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_03]: the direction of it just had just enough interesting turns and enough interesting plot points,

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_03]: kind of really keep me engaged, it elevated this film above what I think the synopsis

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and what even the trailer showed us. So I really did like rebel ridge,

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_03]: got plenty of things to say about it, but Chris, what's your thoughts on this film before we get me deeper?

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_04]: So kind of behind the scenes last week when we reviewed B.O.G.'s B.O.J.s.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I asked him, hey, what are you thinking about reviewing for next week?

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like, oh, you know, I don't really know, not really sure about any of the new releases.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, well, would you want to review rebel ridge? It's on Netflix with our busy schedules?

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_04]: It'd be easy for you to catch. Like, yeah, let's do that.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, okay, there is no doubt as to because had you not said let's do that.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I would have recommended that on my show instead of a quiet place because I'm a pretty big fan of the film.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, that's why I chose to, you know, all the elements to recommend it.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I really like the film and I think a lot of who knows we often talk about expectations on the podcast.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I do like the director of like this previous films, but I still because the trailer

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_04]: it did the exact opposite of what trailers usually do. They build you.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, yeah, I mean, it looks okay, but I guess what the main thing that the trailer

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_04]: didn't, which is hard in a minute and a half to make trailer

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_04]: didn't give me a sense of the weight of the performance as which is hard to do that anyway.

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Unless it's an actor that's a name quality. Like if you see DeNira delivering this really heavy

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_04]: to the line, you're like, oh, okay. You know, but he with EMP here,

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I wasn't really familiar with him.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You could have told me that I'd never seen him before and I would have believed you.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Did a little searching. He was in old, Shyman's film, which I have, I know the premise of that film,

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_04]: but I basically forgot it.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_03]: He was one of the people on the beats that make sure old.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. He played the character mid-sized sedan.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that ringing a bell now.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_04]: He was a rat. He was with that name. He's got to have been a rapper.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. Yeah, I don't.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. I remember it a little more, but still, that not the type of thing I'm going to really recall him,

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_04]: but he is so central to this film.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you see him from the very opening scene. He's there.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think he's in every scene, but he's almost every scene I would thank.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And he is so good.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, he just, the way he delivers the lines, the way he carries himself,

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_04]: it does a lot of acting, which we often talk about here on the show.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Just with his eyes and his intense stare.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And he can be intimidating without raising his voice, without doing it.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just like, yeah, the dude's got it.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And some of my favorite, and you talk about somebody who you have seen in films, he was in,

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what, I don't know what Don Johnson has been in recently.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I think he was in the first nine out.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_03]: He was in the first nine out.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_04]: And I saw him and I was like, huh, Don Johnson, interesting to see you again.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Never would have thought I would have, you know, never watched my any advice when it was on.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_04]: So I never really, and he's been in other films, but I never really like,

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_04]: you know, think of him as somebody to be in films.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And man, the scenes between Don Johnson and here and here in this film,

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Don Johnson plays the police chief, he mentioned who's at odds with Johnson or a Pierce character.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Man, those two going back and forth playing cat mouse.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And there again, Johnson for the most part, too.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_04]: You can tell, okay, you kind of know who this guy is, you're like, okay, he's the crop small town.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_04]: She, you know, what does he get?

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_04]: But the way he is nice, but also has minutes at first.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And then you're just like, okay, and the way they spar back and forth, you're like, okay,

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_04]: cat mouse with each other, just dialogue really well, Don.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I guess not surprised as you mentioned this was written by Jeremy Sawyer.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so yeah.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I will echo your thoughts on the two, those two performances and even their interplay,

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_03]: which we only have a couple of scenes where they're together, but manner they get, they are really good.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_03]: There's the one kind of initial confrontation between the two,

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_03]: but then there's also, I just thought a really interesting scene.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Not gonna spoil the details of it, but just, there's a little bit of,

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_03]: there's a little bit of an action that the police chief takes, the Don Johnson character takes.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_03]: That I did not expect.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's almost in a manner of trying to defuse a situation and trying to satisfy things.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, wow, okay, yeah, that's pretty good.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Almost like he's taken the high road, but you know, there's going to be something more to it, but still,

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_03]: just that scene, the way it played out, and even you even saw the Lee character,

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Aaron Peer's character, kind of also having to process what's happening in that scene as well.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you know, you constantly are seeing an Aaron Peer's face as Terry Richmond, the Lee character,

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_03]: constantly seeing in his face processing.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, okay, I know what this probably means.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I know what they're trying to imply when they say this.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I am now trying to think about my next steps.

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He even lays it out for the Don Johnson character and one scene like,

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_03]: this is my thought.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Just kind of a chess match.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the way it works.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: We're at this point.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: We've already escalated to here.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: We've got this last stage to go through.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's like, it's so good.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And in a way you would think like, oh, well, that's making it even, like, kind of like,

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_04]: routine and boring for the audience because it's like, here's what's happening.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Here's what you're like, and you would think that would just kind of bore you.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_04]: But no, the way it's written, the way it's delivered, the way it's acted,

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_04]: it's just like the tension just keeps building.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's a slow, kind of a slow burn at first.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, okay, this is what I thought was going to be from the trailer.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And then it just kind of keeps kind of changing a little bit.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it definitely kind of escalates this things.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Go on.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, yeah, I think the premise itself, I mean,

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_03]: as we meet Terry Richmond, he's a magnetic kind of hard times saying that.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Ignigmatic.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Ignigmatic?

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Now you know how do you see that Chris?

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's in Nigma and then right in Nigmatic.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_04]: But it is kind of a tough one.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It is a tough one.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's in Nigmatic character and that we know very little about him.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_03]: We learn a little bit almost as other characters learn about him.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think kind of funny ways as well.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And but the same time, yes, he, he,

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: some people could watch this film and see him as action hero because he does get some scenes.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he does have some skill sets that play very well into an act like a Leon Neson.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_04]: I have a certain set of skills.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_04]: A little bit of that.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_03]: But I think it's a lot deeper than that.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I think this is a character that I would, okay,

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not advocating that they should do this because I think this movie is a good standalone movie.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, anything else.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Hopefully there's no such thing.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to sequel necessarily.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: But if you told me that there was going to roll out a series of films with the Terry Richmond character as the lead.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: In just different scenarios, almost like John McLean, die hard to us.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Like oh, where is John McLean getting dropped into now that he's got to do with?

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I tell you it would be unbored with it.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I see that.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_03]: As long as Jeremy Saline was the one doing it.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the thing is it has to be that combination because I've got to know that he's in the hands of that same director and writer too to do it.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, yes, really, really love the performance of the air.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Especially those two lead characters.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I will say too.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm Ansefia Rob as a summer McBride.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_03]: She played someone working in the city offices and the legal area of the offices.

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Kind of comes a little bit of assistant to him or a little bit of a supporter to Terry's efforts.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But also herself, you start to learn a lot more about her and there's a lot of interesting details with her.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And the way she gets really brought in that plot, I thought was really fascinating and also an interesting sub plot.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, there's a great strong performance there too.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I was also taking with her performance and I think what made it stronger for me too was okay.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_04]: If we put aside like when you see a female character and his introduce, she's like okay,

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_04]: there's going to be a little bit of a relationship there, maybe a little bit of not love trying to but just a love interest.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I was like okay, here we go.

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_04]: But no and you're always confused at first because I was like okay, she just seems like you know want to be nice to this hunky man who came in.

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_04]: You're like okay, I kind of feel like I know where this is going but no and then like you've kind of alluded to without spoiling anything.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_04]: You kind of see the reasons why she does feel the need to help somebody and it's like okay got you and it's like it's much more well crafted than your run the mill police action crime thriller.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_04]: It's much more well thought out and plotted than that and that's what was so rewarding upon watching and yeah I agree her character was in her the actress and as if he a raw playing.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Was it summer summer, right? Yeah, was was was great.

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I did really enjoy the film.

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I will say you just because I feel like you know, I got to give equal sides of the coin on films and you know there's a lot of films I have kind of trash in the past and I always try to find something good to say about it.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: So this is a film I've got a lot to say but if I had to say that there was something that didn't work as well for me as I'd hoped it was the ending.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, completely disagree.

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I think the ending was a bit a bit contrived and that it didn't build it didn't and I'm talking about the very ending like the final action being taken by people around our main characters.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I just didn't quite buy based on everything I'd seen for the last hour and 50 minutes of the film just didn't quite buy.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_03]: The characters actions to try to help.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I hear what you're saying but I completely disagree.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, um, I'll say the final you mentioned action sequence. I'll just see if we're talking about I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same one.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_04]: But a final car chase that ends up being kind of a hopeful view of humanity. Now, what I expected from an action film much less a Sony A film which typically is kind of bleak.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_04]: But in 2024 exactly what I needed and the very final scene not the action scene that proceeds it but the final scene.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It's dialogue free. And I thought it was a perfect grace note for a film that was filled with all this tension and then you had that final action scene and then this was but in a good way kind of like a balloon slowly,

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah,

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Now until you get to the credits and I thought I agree with you.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I like the last closing sequence shot.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_03]: We're at ends with the character before it cuts to black that was good.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, you know, you know, I can disagree about the final car chase.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I just I felt a little differently about it.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair enough. Yeah, it's a that was my only complaint with this film. That's really it and that's not even really complaint just I was a little if he on the ending but overall everything else in the film work for me really really well.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I think from a directing standpoint, I mean I just want to comment to you me we've come in a lot about dialogue and kind of the writing involved in the film, but I mean.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_03]: This is not a flashy directed film. There's no huge visual flourish, as it really stand out but it works for the story to tell I just felt like I was in the hands of a very good visual storyteller.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, telling me and showing me what I need to see showing me in a way that made you know tension build when it needed to build tension.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It just it worked. So yes, it's hard to describe the direction here because it is so straightforward but it's straightforward in the most effective possible way you can imagine.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, and I'll say maybe in addition to the performances helping you believe what's happening on screen and help me believe all of what was happening on screen even the final action scene that we talked about.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_04]: But I think the way it was shot in the way it was directed. I think just helps deliver the material so I think yeah, I would I guess not a flashy job of direction but when that worked.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I will say if there was one. I'll say scene that maybe was a little not flat but it really kind of stood out because I haven't really seen anything like that before.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_04]: There's kind of a standoff confrontation in the parking lot of the police department and kind of the closeness of that and what all was going on. I was like, whoa, and it was like the proximity of the characters who were facing off and once it was like, and the way that was kind of directed and shot and handled.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought that was pretty unique. That stood out to me as something I hadn't seen before. I guess in a way it was like a police standoff with lots of characters like something you see in like a John Wick movie where he does like some of the close fighting or what it like.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I guess similar to that but still it was unique enough that I was like, that's kind of interesting. So yeah, I would agree that direction even though it's not like a flashy type job that it was well done.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I just call it just a quick more couple more performances that we haven't really mentioned yet. David Denman as officer Evan Marston, so one of the two officers working for the Don Johnson police chief.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: That was really good. Again, I feel like a broken record, but I'm just saying yeah, performances really good.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Emory Cohen as Steve Land another officer, the two of them were kind of the ones that wear this whole plot starts kicking off and I think an opening scene that.

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was pretty her I mean scary is on the other hand horrific. I mean, I just I think I can at least explain this. It's the first to make sense in the movie.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're following Terry he's writing a bike. He's guys headphones on. He's listening to like heavy metal.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Like trash metal.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I think Sonya is kind of a fan of that style of music. This is kind of like a tip of the hat to.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_03]: But you know, it's just traveling down the road and then you see he's guys had been done. So he's not able to hear anything and you just see this wonderful shot where you're like straight on with his face, but you're seeing this police car behind them kind of weaving back and forth trying to get his attention.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, of course he's not able to hear them and then everything is going to you just just you think you know where this is going, but obviously not police car just kind of bumps his bike to the point where it's a pretty horrible crash.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for him. And it's like right away. It's like okay now we've ratcheted up the energy here. This is this is not going to be a good story unfortunately we can tell.

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. So right away off the bat I think the film had me with that scene and and there's performances David Demon and Emory Cohen as the two police officers playing a little bit into some stereotypes but at least I think in one of them.

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_03]: There's enough of a development that was interesting maybe not as much in the other the other one I think cast stayed a little true to what you kind of expect his character to be.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_03]: But overall they were effective they were work fine.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, praise the film, praise the direction plate, praise a lot of acting and I will say.

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Mufasa the Lion King being directed by Barry Jenkins. Yeah, he's the other than the fact that Barry Jenkins like I don't really want to see this but then I learned Aaron Pierre is going to be the voice of Mufasa in that film so live action Lion King films. I'm like well.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, that gets me a little more excited.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Very Jenkins already had me interesting and now Aaron Pierre is the voice of Mufasa which again that voice his presence in general I mean it's it's almost a it's almost like we just had the passing of James Earl Jones just in the last a couple weeks here so.

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_03]: His presence and voice almost gives a little bit of that feel too as he's going through the family.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Not to miss the draw comparisons but I think there's there's enough similarity. I think him already being selected as Mufasa's voice right in James Earl Jones and even passed away tell us you something that all right there we see something in this voice we really appreciate it so yeah.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_03]: He's great he is so good in this movie. I'm a big fan. I'm excited to see what he gets into next.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you know, Jeremy Saw Nino's films.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I've appreciated and enjoyed. Can't say I've ever loved them. I was not as big a fan of blue ruin. I think when we talked about it.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, you were a huge fan. I admired it but it didn't really work from the same level and I thought Green Room was kind of the same way. I did appreciate it and liked what was happening there but it was it's not a film I care to revisit or had any interest in really seeing again.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And like you said, I didn't even see a third film so sure.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_03]: But this one has got me this one's got me back on track. It's like, all right. I'm kind of unbored. Show me what you got next. Let's see what you're doing. So that's good.

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, without going back and doing which at one point on better box I kept a running list of all the Netflix original movies that I'd seen and unfortunately I think that one I think really kept that one up.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_04]: But just thinking back of the Netflix original films, I would say this is probably my favorite. I mean it's a really good film obviously I'm really on it but I think it may be my favorite Netflix film.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not completely positive on that, but if I think about it, there haven't been other good Netflix films.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_04]: But overalls are complete package. I think it's probably my favorite Netflix original.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I can see that. I mean it's definitely topped here in Netflix original film right now. I'm sure so.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I don't think I was expecting because you know he'd already had one film on there before.

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but yeah, it was my surprise. It was great.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, taking a what seemed to be a very simple simple story simple concept for a film a simple premise with you know trailer that really tried to accentuate more of the

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a guy who's just going to get revenge on people.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but it seemed like I was like right I was just really happy to see it was a little more than that and even if that was just a guy getting revenge on some small town bigoted cops.

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It was done really well. So like you know that's it. I'm happy with that too. So anyway, we're used to privacy James Kramer pop up.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was. I mean there was a scene where we see the judge that he plays in the background and I'm like, that kind of looks like James Kramer.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's sure. And then sure enough we see him up close and like oh yeah, it actually is and he was he was good.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, and he was good too. So again that whole sub plot with some of the I thought was really just fascinating. I'm thinking through the mechanics of how that all would working and what that meant. I'm like, oh yeah, that's that's good.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I did a little character sub plot there for sure. So and he played a pivotal role in it.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, well that is rebel rich as we said, it's a Netflix exclusive, which means if you have Netflix and is available to you right now, you could say for free.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I know you're paying your your Netflix membership, but you know if you kind of already invested that and said that's a son cost.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Then this is technically a free film you can watch at your own leisure and we do both highly recommended it came out September 6th.

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it is trending very popular on Netflix.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_04]: It is especially, I think it is trending well in Netflix and critics seems like do letter box just seem like to be really favorable on it.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll tell you the fact that I was able to go to Netflix and actually find the movie pretty easily tells me that it must be doing pretty well because you know normally it's like a chore just to find a certain film even a new film that they release.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure on their website or on their main main menu.

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, think of how hard it was to find the West Anderson shorts.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, like it was just a part of it everywhere and you know what even got my Academy Award but still it was just fabulous.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Rebel Ridge I think was was showing up as the number two streaming film on their network. So hopefully that's a good sign hopefully it's doing really well for them.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So all right, well that is rebel ridge we both strongly encourage you check it out and have a good time with it.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: All right Chris, let's take a quick break and when we come back I've got two news items along with trailers for those news items to share.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we'll go into your recommendation at the end of the episode so stay tuned we'll be right back with food candle films in just a moment.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Welcome back to FootCandle Film here on the mesh dot TV podcast network.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_03]: We had our review of Rebel Ridge at the top of the show both very enthusiastic and very positive on that film definitely encourage you to check it out.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about a couple of films that are coming out very soon Chris.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, a lot of times in our news we're talking about films that may be six nine months out if not longer maybe they're getting an analysis these are two that I mean they're done and one of them actually is getting roll out like another week.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_03]: The other one I think is going to be a little bit closer to Halloween which makes sense and we'll get to why that is in a minute.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_03]: But let's talk about these two new films and I get some thoughts on it and we're going to play the trailers for them which I have not seen the trailers for either of these.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm kind of anxious to see how these are looking.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_03]: First up this one I think is just sounds fascinating.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a documentary and it is called Will and Harper.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So the will in that title is comedian Will Ferrell who.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I've heard a big fan like Will Ferrell quite a bit.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_03]: The Harper in the film is Harper Steele who was a former Saturday Nat live head writer.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how they met there best friends.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And the background of the story is that a couple years ago Harper Steele wrote a letter to closest family and friends saying that she's come out as a trans woman.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_03]: So the idea is that suppose he's still Harper Steele really likes to drive across country alone.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_03]: She always has kind of through a hundred life, always just enjoyed traveling alone.

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_03]: But now that she's made this announcement and made this decisions come out as a trans woman, she's unsure of what it's going to be like that experience.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_03]: So Will Ferrell, best friend of her, suggests that they drive together from New York to California and just see what happens.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's what the documentary is.

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It is called Will and Harper.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I again, I have not seen the trailer.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm kind of curious to see how it sets up.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's watch that and we can talk about and see what we think this film looks like.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It is an Netflix exclusive film also just to kind of keep it in our keep it in the wheelhouse with this episode.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Hi there.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm Will Ferrell, one of the greatest actors in the world.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_02]: A long time ago, back when I was at Sarnai Live, I met a guy who was hired as a writer the same week I was hired.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_02]: He wrote a bunch of sketches for me and eventually became the head writer of SNL.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And over the years he became one of my closest friends.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And then one day I got this email, hey Will, something I need you to know.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be transitioning to live as a woman.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_03]: All right. So that is coming out on Netflix September 27th.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Will and Harper. Oh yeah, Chris wiping tears away.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that got me. That got me pretty good.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, that's just the trailer.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's just the trailer.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Can we even do a 90 minute version of that?

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Well here's the thing.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_04]: We all know Will Ferrell's funny.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_04]: It appears Harper is also I mean they said writer for that in that life.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_04]: So you figure. Okay, but what I think is going to help this from being just heavy handed.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Another time is the fact that both figures in the title Will and Harper have a sense of humor.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And they know what they're doing.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And they're, you know, of course trying to communicate a message about understanding.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_04]: But they're still going to allow it to be funny, which, you know, a lot of people said if you're trying to communicate a message,

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_04]: one way you know do it through laughs, do it through comedy, do it because that is easy for people to come around to.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, it looks, looks pretty good.

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I mean, and just the fact that I know it's just the trailer and sure, but picking up on the relationship these two have,

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, just reading into a little bit more supposedly.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And again, this is what they, you know, how much you this you buy.

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That when Will Ferrell joined us and now, you know, he wasn't.

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I remember those first couple years he was on SNL. He was, he wasn't the big star.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: He wasn't, you know, he wasn't like this huge legend from day one.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. But Harper steal the writer was actually one who saw Will Ferrell.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, hey guys, this guy's something his guys are something there.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03]: We really need to like get him in things and write things for him or whatever.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_03]: So you kind of feel like there might be a little bit of, you know, will obviously has a friendship with, with Harper,

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_03]: but it may even be a matter of Will kind of credits Harper for a little bit of his success as well too.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_03]: So that just adds a little bit more of an element to this whole thing.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And I mentioned the trailer too, but something of course, I was not aware of, I think Andrew steal and Harper steal.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Right. Wasn't aware of this person.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_04]: But Will kind of mentions there in the trailer.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_04]: They both started at the same time like that's fascinating.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_04]: So then like how they were able to help one another. Yes, just I'm looking forward to it.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_04]: When is September 27th? Okay.

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Coming out on Netflix and yeah, on board.

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_03]: So I decided to see this.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Here's some hyperbole and hype.

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Not having even seen the documentary yet.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm wondering if it's going to be, it'll be the, what I'll say at the end of the year,

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_04]: the best Netflix original documentary that I've ever seen.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I said, like I said hyperbole.

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_03]: You're where you're having to have different categories now.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Because you just said rebel ridge was in the top tier of Netflix dramatic films.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_03]: But you're going to separate between documentary dramatic films now.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_03]: So you're getting, right?

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm the hog with Netflix original version.

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And I hope it's good.

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I should lower the bar and say, but I hope it's good.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I will say everything I've heard from some festivals that's played.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Actually, I think Toronto had played and it did walk away with some awards at the Toronto film festival.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So not to build up expectations, but I just, I don't think this is going to be a disappointment of a film.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Just we'll just see how good it turns out at the end of the day.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And now Alan, because we did do a little bit of pregame.

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You told me kind of the trailers you're going to be doing.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Now you're about to really, now I'm going to bring you a favor about to bring me down.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, maybe I don't know.

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you're going to make me angry.

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_03]: You're re-action when I even mentioned that we were going to talk about the new version of Salem's lot.

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It was funny enough.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Just I want to hear more about Chris's resentment of the idea this filming them re-made or what's going on there.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: But let me, let me set it up and then I want to get your thoughts.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Salem's lot is a, you know, one of Stephen King's novel.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Early or not?

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Early 1975 novel.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Already had a movie made out of it?

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It had two versions.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It had a mini series on CBS.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Like a TV mini series back in the 79.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And then there was also another version that came out.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, gosh, when was it?

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_03]: On TNT.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Back in 2004.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_03]: He had Roblo and him.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think anybody really remembered that very much.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So there've been two different versions.

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Never told as a singular movie.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's always been like a little mini series.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Clearly I'd never seen either one.

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I just knew something it made of it already.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_03]: So now we have a movie coming out.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It is by the writer of the film, Enable.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_03]: The writer Gary Doberman.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And it is going to be starring Lewis Pullman.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Lewis Pullman is the son of Bill Pullman.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Lewis Pullman was in a film we saw before.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I just knew Bill Pullman.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Hold on.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_03]: There was a film we saw recently that that Lewis Pullman was in.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm trying to remember what that was.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_03]: If you give me just a second, I'm texting our intern to have them look it up for us.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I have seen the original film that started the Anabel stuff and the original when I thought was good.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I haven't seen any of the follow ups because I just, I don't know, just didn't bother.

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_04]: But the original film that started the whole Annabel doll.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Annabel was just like if you.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, the writing doesn't give me a line.

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It's writing indirecting.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me get back to that.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, yeah.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Tell me about Lewis.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Actually, Lewis Pullman was in bad times at the L Royale.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, okay.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably a small part but he was in that.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I did like that.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He was one of the pilots in Tuck and Maverick.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I'm sure we probably got a picture.

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_03]: He probably got a picture hanging up in your room.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And most recently he was in the film's Game Care, which we haven't talked about.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the Elizabeth Banks.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Also in the TV series, Outer Range.

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's kind of his background.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_03]: But Lewis Pullman, the son of Bill Pullman is in this say,

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Lumslot remake.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's see who is directing it is.

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's, it, Doberman directing it.

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm looking to find out.

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought he wrote, but he wrote it.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_03]: The film also is going to star McKinsey Lee, Bill Camp, Alphry Rutter,

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Treat Clark, and John Benjamin Hickey.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_03]: So that is going to be the cast of the film.

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a Max Original film.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Directed by Doberman.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But he's writing and directing the film.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_04]: But it is a film instead of a series.

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_04]: It isn't film.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Going to be on Max.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's going to get a very limited theatrical release

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and then go straight to Max for distribution.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Doberman wrote the script for the two Stephen King adaptations.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It in that chapter two.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Paul Soil.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know.

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: First it.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Second one didn't like it much.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_04]: He didn't cause machete directed it, but yeah.

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's known for several spin-offs on the conjuring franchise such as Annabelle.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_04]: The conjuring.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Annabelle.

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Creation in the none.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So he's all in the horror camp.

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He does have some Stephen King cred and background with them.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_03]: James One is going to be a producer of this film.

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_03]: So, all right.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: All that mixed in.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you ready to see the trailer and see how we're going to feel about this?

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I sure.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Who can you talk about what Stephen Salem is?

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It's vampires.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Vampires.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a guy.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Ben Meers played by Louis Paulman.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_03]: He moves back to his hometown of Jerusalem's lot to write the next novel.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_03]: He's inspired by an experience he had.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_03]: But it happens to coincide with the purchase of his house.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And action vampire using his human familiar to turn the citizens of the town.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's yeah.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It's vampires.

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So here we go.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's watch the trailer for the newest version of Salem's lot.

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Not a volist written stories.

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We have things that are so terrible.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to heal runaway until you're brainwoken, remember?

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_05]: So when did you come back?

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm here for research.

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm so excited about how you're researching.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So that is the trailer for Salem's lot.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: The 2024 version coming to Max on October 3rd, I believe, was the date.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So just some time for prepping for Halloween.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Chris, you are a fan of Stephen King's work.

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I am.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: You've been a little more critical of some of adaptations.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_03]: One that you like.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't like.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_03]: You have opinions and feelings.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And now this is just the trailer.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's hard to judge a film completely off of the trailer.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_03]: But from what you see, is there anything here of interest to you?

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I am conflicted.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I think I've read Salem's lot.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't remember.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I've never seen either one of the previous mini series.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_04]: But I don't remember.

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's said based on Stephen King's novel.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_04]: So they may have tweaked things.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Which is fun.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_04]: The point is to make a good movie, not to be religiously devoted to the book.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_04]: You got to make a good movie.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_04]: At first with the trailer, I was a little intrigued.

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't remember the fact of a guy being a writer.

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_04]: So in a way you could read in, it's a little bit of, obviously they're not vampires.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But Stephen King kind of like reminiscing about the early days of him trying to write

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_04]: another, which were very much a struggle for him.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So that kind of had me interested in the way they set that up in the trailer.

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, okay.

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_04]: But then I got a little worried because Alan, you'd actually mention that he had written some

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_04]: of the scripts for the it, maybe that came out in two parts.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And then this seemingly became a little bit of it with vampires.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Because there's kind of a cast of people.

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And then again, I think he is friends with people that do have unfortunate things.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Happened to them in the book.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_04]: But just the way it was shot here and the way it looks.

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_04]: It was like, yeah, this to me, it ended up coming across as just vampires.

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_03]: That was exactly what I was going to say.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I'm a little disappointed in.

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_04]: But I tell you what, I do have access to Max.

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I usually try during the month of October to watch some harm, maybe.

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Just because you know, this is scary spooky season.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And I think it's called.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_04]: So we like give this one a shot probably, but I am I am leary to say the least.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm looking forward to it.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_03]: But I agree with you that I did feel like it's the itification of this story.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, which I could be wrong, right?

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And then tell me what I mean, again, the trailers cut to really kind of play up.

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It does have a lot of those feelings is like, all right, small town.

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_03]: There's like kid character.

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Older people flashbacks to write.

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_03]: So, but yeah, still could be okay though.

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_04]: It could be.

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we don't know.

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, at the wait and see, but like I like a good vampire movie.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Kind of on board with is coming out in October, which for whatever reason,

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why studios have such a hard time trying to release good horror movies in October.

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like they always come out in this random times.

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Like this would have been, this is the perfect film to come out in early October.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So you kind of get it out there and get people seeing it by the time Halloween rolls around.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see.

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Hoops are hopes are there, but you know, I'm not also building a pious reputation to either.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_03]: So we will certainly see what what ends up with that.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that is Salem's lot October 3 coming out on max again,

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_03]: getting a little bit of at the actual distribution,

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_03]: but I understand it to be just a few cities just to say they were in the theater

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and then Venice on max.

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, Chris. Well, that is the two films I wanted to kind of preview and talk about both coming out in the next really three weeks here, two to three weeks,

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_03]: which is good.

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I like when movies come out quickly that we learn about not to wait months for them.

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But if we wanted to go backwards in time though, and look at a film that's been out for a while

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and get a recommendation from you of something that we ought to check out,

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_03]: that's what we're going to wrap up the show with.

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_03]: So Chris, what film do you have to recommend for us today that you think is worth our time?

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Going to revisit or checking out for the first time.

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, an interest of not adding something to Allen's cue, I'm going to recommend something that I know he's already seen.

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, thank you. He may want to check out again at some point, but he's already seen it, so there's no pressure to add it to very much.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Please watch list on letterboxed.

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_04]: So we'll play a little bit of the game with the listeners to see if they can guess before I give the title.

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of dialogue from the film, which actually had her before, but upon rewatch this,

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, man, such a good line of dialogue. So here's the line of dialogue.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_04]: It must be tough living your life according to a couple of scraps of paper.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_04]: You mix your laundry list with your grocery list and you end up eating your underwear for breakfast.

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's a line delivered by Carrier Moss to one guy here.

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_04]: The movie I'm talking about is a mentor, right at the front director, Chris Renolum.

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I had, I couldn't believe looking back.

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I just revisited the film recently.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_04]: I couldn't believe when I checked the list that I've never recommended it for the show.

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a great film. It came out in 2000.

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_04]: So the film is 24 going to be soon 25 years old, hard for me to imagine.

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_04]: It is available on, I saw it on Hupelau through my local library service,

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_04]: but it's also on peacock, it's on Roku.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And of course you can rent it any number of places online.

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_04]: But I just really like this film.

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_04]: This was kind of my first, even though this was not Chris Renolum's first film that would be the following.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_04]: This was his follow-up mentor and I think it was a lot of people's first exposure to Chris Renolum before the show.

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's the story of Leonard Shelby.

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_04]: He's trying to track down the man who raped and murdered his wife.

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And he has difficulty looking in the wife's killer and you're like, okay, kind of like rebel ridge.

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_04]: This sounds like a revenge type thriller, what was the deal?

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, if you've seen the film, you know the whole deal, the title, the film, let's you know the nontav.

[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_04]: It is told kind of in reverse and also going forward at the same time.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Leonard Shelby has memory problems.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_04]: So he gives himself tattoos. He writes down copious notes and he takes polar-wired pictures

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_04]: because he has a type of retrograde amnesia they explained it in the film

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_04]: where he just can't form new memories.

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_04]: He can remember certain things up to his point which is the death of his wife

[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_04]: and then he has problems remembering anything after.

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's just, it is convoluted to say the least.

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Every time I watch it, which according to Leonard Box, this is the third time I watched it.

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course, you know, as many times I watched it before I start vlogging things in Leonard Box.

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_04]: But I still find things I'm like, okay, that seems to, there are a lot of gears, a lot of moving parts

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_04]: every time I watch it, it seems like it actually seems to work better and better.

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Because first time through you're kind of in a way, you're moving the world.

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a little bewildering but in a way, you can kind of give it a passage.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I realized that one angle black and white is moving forward.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_04]: The color angle is moving in reverse.

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_04]: But then it things blurr, you know, it just gets confusing.

[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_04]: So the more you know what's going on and you know characters motivations,

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_04]: it just makes more sense and I find it to be more satisfying.

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And unlike some other films which we've talked about, I can't remember what we didn't review it on the show.

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Just recently came out this year.

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm actually going to look it up because I want to mention it.

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's see, what was there?

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It was real quick.

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yes, strange darling.

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_04]: So that came out this year.

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_04]: We were going to review it for the show but then we passed.

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Strange darling is an interesting film.

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not really well, I agree.

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Some of the talk free but it's kind of a gimmick where things are told non-linearly,

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_04]: kind of like pulp fiction, kind of like Monanto.

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_04]: But the difference for me is speaking with Monanto is this film,

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I can watch it multiple times and it's not even if you know how to do the magic trick,

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_04]: the magic trick still works.

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_04]: And I have only watched Strange Darling once but even when the film goes like,

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah, okay but it just went and hold up for me if I watched it a second time.

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Where is this one?

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I've told at least watched it three times, holds up every time.

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_04]: So Monanto, Christopher Nolan kind of your A typical, I guess, crime.

[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Thriller, type maybe, but it's good and it's playing almost anywhere you can.

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's great.

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I enjoyed it the first time, all the first time viewing it.

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a lot to process and I still had a hard time wrapping my head around it.

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But I do think it probably is rewarding a second, third viewing for sure.

[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_03]: So even on first viewing you just have to admire the craftsmanship it play with the storytelling and the,

[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah, just it, I mean as we've come to learn with Chris Fornoll and he obviously is able to take these really,

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_03]: really detailed, complex situations and display them on film.

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_03]: They still are complex and detailed even in the film but he just has a really good hand in it.

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_03]: At least delivering it in the most, the most acceptable way possible even though I mean,

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_03]: a movie like 10 it still, it's probably that was the biggest extreme example of where it was just such a high concept.

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was just maybe just didn't quite hold up when you really try to think it through.

[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Momento, you can kind of go back and see, the, the,

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_03]: the momento surprisingly is actually a simpler movie than 10 it, but it still takes some time to process and I like movies

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_03]: where you got a reward the second viewing and rewards another viewing to kind of follow the, the storytelling path.

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah.

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's say some been to that stuck out to me on this rewatch.

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Chris Fornoll and I've never thought of the, you know, he's, I like his films.

[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm being board saying that but I've heard people say they've seen cold calculating.

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_04]: And I can say, oh well okay, but with this rewatch of Memento,

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I was actually struck by like I read that line of dialogue.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_04]: How funny that was and there are a couple of other times in the film where it's,

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_04]: there's actually some funny little things that, not overall, yes, the film is dark and, you know,

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_04]: we're talking about drug dealing people having killed it was wife or then,

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_04]: very dark stuff but there are moments of kind of humor which if somebody were to say,

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_04]: are there moments of humor and Christopher Nolan's maybe like,

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_04]: uh, not that I can think of. But there are, there are some here.

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_04]: What other one I'll just call that real quick?

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Because of his memory problem, there's one time when they've seen starts and he's,

[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_04]: he's inner monologues, I'm chasing someone, why am I chasing them?

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And he actually catches up to them and he's like, oh wait, in the person starts,

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_04]: he's like, no, they're chasing me and he turns around and he turns around and he starts running

[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_04]: the other way.

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, but it doesn't take away from the film because that is something you could see with

[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_04]: his confusion confused state that would happen.

[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_04]: But yet it just gives you just enough of kind of like, that was funny.

[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_04]: So that the whole film is not a slog that makes sense and I'd forgotten that there

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_04]: were those little moments of humor in Memento.

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That's awesome. That's funny.

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Good recommendations.

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's Memento watching it. I mean, is it streaming anywhere?

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Or did you just have the right to it?

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it is streaming on the Roku channel, Pikaquas,

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Hupla, I got to check out for free from library.

[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_04]: But then again, yeah, I'm sure you can rent it for Hupla.

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_04]: We're here for Hupla.

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's right, all right.

[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Lots of ways to see it.

[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Just do a little search on your whatever device or way to watch things and see what options you have for

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_03]: watching it. Absolutely.

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But all right, well, I think that wraps this up for today.

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Our review of Rebel Ridge, our previews and discussions about the new

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Chris, you tease at the beginning.

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_03]: We can't talk about how busy we were right now.

[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Kind of prepping for the festival.

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure.

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Our festival as of this recording technically gets started in just four days time.

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_03]: What can we tell people about the festival?

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_03]: How can they find it?

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_04]: It's our 10th annual runs from

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Separate November 20th to the 29th.

[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Most of the films will be taking place at the Haker Community Theatre.

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_04]: But we do have an outdoor screening at the home with some music playing before hand,

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_04]: which will be fun.

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_04]: We do have some screenings of children's films from all over the world.

[00:50:37] [SPEAKER_04]: It'll be showing that are specifically geared to children.

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_04]: That will be playing both at the community theatre screening.

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_04]: There's also going to be one of that Carolina Theatre that's in downtown Hakeray.

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Those the children's films both of those screenings are actually free.

[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_04]: So as well as tons of other events like I said,

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Fukendoffilmfestful.com.

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so even though we technically start the festival on the 20th,

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean we have a public event on the 21st.

[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know when this episode comes out in my shirt kind of close to that.

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But we do have a concert in an outdoor screening of the film American graffiti going on

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_03]: in downtown Hakeray on the 21st at a facility called the home here in town.

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So excited with that.

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we have a little bit of a break and then we kind of pick back up with the festival on Wednesday

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_03]: the 25th through the 29th.

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's kind of the meat and potatoes of the festival,

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_03]: 25th through the 29th.

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So if you're hearing this episode and you hear,

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_03]: oh it's already past the 20th, I'm missing the festival.

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_03]: No, you're okay.

[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Come on and join us on the 25th through the 29th any of those days.

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Schedule is available online and you can come for an individual film or get a pass

[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and come join us for the whole the whole Shabank.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So, right.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_04]: To be quick, quick trivia.

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't matter.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And at this point,

[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_04]: probably too late to get a team together.

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_04]: The reason you're like, why is it starting if you're a bit first of

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_04]: the first event on the 21st, why is it starting on the 20th?

[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Excellent question.

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a very good question.

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_04]: We have a film lab and you're wondering what is that?

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_04]: That's where teams can get together.

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Make a film over a 60 hour period submitted and then you compete against the other

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_04]: teams.

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_04]: We announced the winner on Wednesday that event that's held over.

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_03]: No, we show the films.

[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Show the winners.

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_03]: We have a winner on the 29th at our closing boards.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's so too late to probably make a team this year, but you're like,

[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_04]: hey, that sounds cool.

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe that's the way you can participate in the film festival next year if you would like.

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll say this.

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_03]: If you're listening to this episode by Thursday night.

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, guys.

[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_03]: September 19th and you are so inclined that you can pull together a team of people

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_03]: to make a short film between five and ten minutes long.

[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_03]: That can be shown at our festival the following week.

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_03]: You have 60 hours to make it starting Friday night the 20th.

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_03]: But you know, we can squeeze in another team or so with the last minute.

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
