Podcasters of Film Fantasy League Draft

I'm Phil Lamar, voice of Green Lantern and Justice

League, and you're listening to the Geekcast

Radio Network. Hi, this is Stan Bush, and you're

listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Fighting

the war for Cybertron, till all are one. all

right welcome to a very special episode here

at the get cast radio network slash weekend at

the movies slash all kinds of other podcasts

and blog post that we're gonna get to very shortly

this is a an adventure that we've never been

partaking in before it's a collaboration Unlike

anything else we've done at GeekCast Radio Network,

so it's going to be interesting here The closest

I can compare this to is I guess the collaborations

we do when we do our top 100 list Like when we

did our top 100 animated series of all time or

top 100 animated movies of all time Because we

did collaborate with quite a few people but never

quite like this we are starting today a podcasters

of film fantasy league call it the PFL or the

PFF or whatever you want to call it Trying to

come up with some type of you know gimmicky name

here But what we're doing here is we've gathered

all kinds of our friends from around the podcasting

film community and blogging community To create

a podcasting a film fantasy league. You might

be asking what the heck that is We will get to

that shortly But first I want to do some introductions

so you can kind of hear all the great people

that we have collaborated with on this epic adventure

here. First, starting with one of my co -hosts

from Weekend at the Movies, and a familiar voice

for some of you that listen to the Geekcast Radio

Network, would be Fridley Scent, Matt Fridley,

hello. Hey there. And then also from, let's start

with someone who was just recently on our show

for our most anticipated films of 2015. That

would be JD Duran from In Session Film, hello.

Hello, glad to be here. And he will be teaming

up with Brendan, his co -host, to create one

team in this fantasy league. Splitting teams

up a little bit here. We also have DJ Valentine

from Simplistic Reviews. Hello. PTP, your baby.

I'm looking for the blue chipper. Also, on the

actual record here is Michael Denniston from

the War Machine versus War Horse podcast. Hello,

Mike. Hello. Thank you for having me. Not a problem.

So those are the people that you'll actually

be hearing on the record. I don't think I forgot

anybody. And we also have a variety of people

that aren't actually on the record because logistically

it would be... almost impossible to have 12 people

recording at the same time. I've never tried

that, but the thought of it just scares me. Skype

would break. Yeah, so DJ, your other cohorts

there at The Simplistic Reviews will also be

having individual teams, Justin and Matt. uh...

we also have wits movie reviews uh... movie blogger

there that will be joining us we have our very

own movie revolved and and clark from talking

in circles i was not able to make the record

but he will be also having a team here we have

to him from first time watchers And we have the

guys from the true bromance podcast They'll each

have separate teams because come on guys. There's

no way they would have cooperated on one So we'll

have one team for high row from true bromance

and we'll have another team for Barry from true

bromance So that is the 12 league members before

I get into exactly how this is going to work

DJ who scares you on this group? Oh, man scares

me as as competitors or scares me as actors As

competitors there are the other league members

here. Well, you know, I'm not really afraid of

anybody I think I know Hollywood talent better

than anyone that's including Every agent on the

business. No, everybody scares me. I have no

idea how this is gonna work I'm probably going

to pick burn Troyer with my first pick. I don't

know if that's a good thing or a bad thing I'm

gonna give a go at I'm gonna be I'm gonna be

the underdog the entire season We we are all

on level playing fields. None of us have ever

done this before so everybody got the same information

and Had the opportunity to do whatever they want

up. I'll still be laughing. It doesn't matter

So basically this is how it's gonna happen All

right, everybody will have a team consisting

of ten actors or actresses must be at least two

of each gender And one director so there'll be

an 11 person team And based on that team, you

will collect points throughout the year here,

throughout 2015. And we tried to break it into

about four different categories, so you couldn't

just go for one type of actor or just on certain

criteria. Hopefully, the most rounded team will

win, but I have no idea how this is going to

work. The first category would be how prevalent

they are in 2015. So every time somebody on your

team appears in a movie, you get a point. So

if they're in a movie in 2015, that's an automatic

point. If they appear in more than five films,

you will get a bonus point for that actor and

more than ten films an extra bonus point as well.

I don't know how many actors actually appear

in ten films in a year, but it seems like lately

there's been a few that are in a film every other

month. So that would be the prevalence in 2015.

How desired are they in 2015? How much power

or draw do they have? And this will be something

that's kind of debatable, because it'll take

a panel vote. At least seven of the 12 members

will have to vote for this. But this would be

if they, from this point on, after the record,

if they get cast in some type of major role for

the future, for either a film coming out late

in 2015 that we don't know about, or a film in

2016, 2017, something similar to let's say last

year when obviously Ben Affleck got cast as Batman.

Um, so if you have an actor that gets cast in

some type of major role as judged by the panel,

then you'll get an extra two points for that

actor. All right? We got it. Third, third category

would be box office success. All right, this

is probably the one that you can somewhat wrap

your mind around. Um, the easiest. So if your

person on your team appears in a movie that grosses

over $100 million, you get a point and then you

get an additional point for every 50 million

after that. So 150, 200, 250, all the way up

to 400. Alright, so if you have an actor that's

in a four hundred million dollar film domestically,

that would be seven points. Alright? You're telling

me if I pick Star Wars as a character and he

makes a billion dollars, I don't get like ten

points? No, because then DJ will pick Mickey

Mouse. I will pick Mickey Mouse and I will email

all of you. I will become Mickey Mouse and then

just take all the money. We also are, though,

incorporating negative points. So if you have

somebody that appears in a movie that grosses

less than its budget, you get negative two points

for that person. And if they're in a movie that

grosses less than half of their budget, you get

negative three points. So you gotta watch out

for those box office bombs and you gotta think

twice before you pick Johnny Depp. The last category

would be of course the hardest one probably to

try to predict and that would be the critical

acclaim in 2015. So this has to do with what

types of awards they're nominated for or what

types of awards they win. So we have a variety

of things. I'm not going to go through all of

them but being nominated for supporting roles

and we're looking at the SAG Awards, the Golden

Globe Awards and the Oscars. So both supporting

roles or lead roles or as a director if you get

nominated or win any of those awards you can

get. a bunch of points. So the best thing would

be winning for a lead role, Oscar would be four

points, plus the nomination points, so you get

seven total. So winning the lead role in Oscar

would be the same as basically being in a 400

million plus dollar movie. But there's some negative

points there too. Being nominated for a Razzie

also will get you negative points, whether it's

a supporting role or a lead role, and then winning

a Razzie will get you additional negative points.

include as far as our point total go is every

certified fresh film according to Rotten Tomatoes

that your actor appears in will be an additional

two points and every certified rotten film will

be an additional negative two points. So there

are pluses and minuses to look out for for all

of these different categories. And I have no

idea how that will all work, but that is what

we put together, and that's what we're going

with in this inaugural season of the PFFL. I

just want to say that a bunch of times. Branded.

Trademarked. Copywritten. So with that being

said, how this draft is going to work is obviously

there's five of us that will be picking live

here on air, and then we will be going off of

pre -made lists from our other seven. League

members and we'll be doing the picks for them.

We have already revealed the draft order via

Twitter a couple days ago. Hopefully people had

somewhat of fun with that, although I did not.

I kept waiting for my name to show up and it

never did until there was only one spot left.

So I had some type of weird app I got on my phone.

It was like drawing names from a hat. It seemed

like it worked pretty well. I'm sure Dan and

DJ and JD are happy since they're all in the

top four. I thought your app would work perfectly.

I have no problem with your app. I have nothing

at all to complain about. So the draft order

is as follows. Movie Revolt, Dan will be picking

first, followed by DJ, then Tim from First Time

Watchers, then JD, then Hiro from True Bromance,

Justin from Simplistic Reviews, then Mr. Dennison

from the War Machine War Horse. Then Matt Fridley,

then Witt from Witt's Movie Reviews, Matt from

Simplistic Reviews, Barry from True Romance in

the 11th spot, and yours truly in the 12th spot.

We are doing a snake draft, so that means I will

then turn around and pick in the 13th spot and

we will wind our way back to Dan who will get

both the first pick and the 24th pick. and i'm

trying not to put too many numbers out there

and confuse everybody that's based mad how about

that uh... for for those that did not uh... obviously

people submitted list that are going to be on

the court and then there's a possibility that

we were going to use basically a hundred and

twenty actors So if they don't have enough people

on their list to fill all their 10 spots, there

will be a free agent pool that they can pick

from after the draft is over based on anybody,

any actor, actress out there that hasn't been

picked. And that will go in a waiver wire order

where if, for example, well, I guess Barry, since

he's in the 11 spot, he would have the first

free agent pick because I'm going to be on the

record. So I will have filled my roster. So that's

basically how it's going to go. We're going to

have a little help from the guys on the panel

as far as managing these lists that were not

being part of the record. I will be managing

Tim from First Time Watchers and Hiro and Witt.

Matt, you'll be managing Dan from Movie Revolt's

list. JD is going to manage Barry's list from

True Bromance and DJ gets the pleasure of managing

both. Justin and Matt's list since they all know

each other so well. They've kidnapped my family.

If I don't pick right for them, I may never see

them again. They've been taken? They've been

taken. I'm not Liam Neeson. They're screwed.

So without further ado, let's get this thing

right underway unless any of you guys have any

questions before it starts. I got one. Did anyone

look at Mordecai to know who not to pick? Yes,

I saw Mordecai, I was like casting, I was writing

on every actor in that movie. You guys all are

haters. Alright, Matt then, I guess you are technically

up first since you're picking for Movie Revolt.

Dan, what is the first pick of the first ever

draft for the PFFL? If you can believe it, it's

Michael Fassbender. Reach! Reach! Michael Fassbender

is off of the table. He's going with the first

pick of the draft, which means DJ you then are

up and Who are you taking first? I was gonna

pick somebody different until I saw what everybody

was gonna do on their list So now I am going

to pick the indomitable Thomas J Hardy as my

number one pick He's in three freaking movies

this year. Two of them are probably gonna be

Academy Award nominated One of them is going

to be a freaking blockbuster, I think, Mad Max.

I'm going with Tom Hardy. I think you just upset

JD because that's his boy. Yeah, I know. I know.

I figured he was going to be gone early anyway.

Going early. And this is where we get to start

seeing the strategy behind some of these as far

as who made their list, who's going after just

box office, who's going after staying away from

people like Johnny Depp. because of the first

time watchers with their first pick it's going

to be an interesting pick i don't know how you

guys are going to react to this but the first

time watchers with their first pick will be taking

andy circus who will both be appearing in the

avengers and star wars so i had him as my first

pick and i thought i was being crafty since he's

not usually ackee Yup, definitely going for the

box office clout there with that third pick.

So Michael Fassbender's off the board, Tom Hardy's

off the board, and Andy Serkis is off the board.

And that leaves you, JD, with your first pick.

With our first pick, the Incession Film crew

picks AJ Abrams, director of Star Wars. I went

with the kicker first. Good job. You don't get

to be a one director, man. There's a billion

actors to choose from. That's true. I'm not crying

over Tom Hardy not being on my team. Oh, you

will. It's on Mad Max Drops. You will. I'm sure

he's going to have a great year, but there's

a billion other running backs right now. Don't

you crap on Adrian Peterson. Nice, nice. Alright,

so picking for Hiro from True Bromance with his

first pick since Andy Serkis is off the board

who he had ranked at number one as well. He's

going with Lee Holland. You don't call retarded

people retards. It's bad taste. You call your

friends retards when they're acting retarded.

I don't know who that is. That's a good reaction

from the crowd. I don't think he's on any of

our lists, so... I'm for it. Good job. Good job.

So no one's worried that one of their picks has

been taken there. I don't know if that was a

typo or not, but we'll give Hiro crap for all

of his picks throughout the rest of it. And I

actually have a specific instruction from him

on who he wants as his last pick. And we'll get

to that later. But DJ, that means one of your

guys up here. What are you doing for Justin?

Justin Palizzi. He's a smart man. And he has

this guy here who I think is going to do well.

I just don't know why he has him so high, but

I'll pick for him anyway. I'm going with Oscar

Isaac. He's going to be in Star Wars. He's a

great actor, though. Great actor. He could be

announced for a whole bunch of stuff, especially

those spinoff movies might be Oscar Isaac. I

think he's right on the cusp. We have discussed

that he's on the cusp of being huge, so I'm going

to go with Oscar Isaac for Justin Palizzi there.

And so that's the first six picks. I do want

to apologize to anybody listening right away

if you hear any typing or tapping or anything

throughout this. We're in the war room. This

is a war room. We're in the war room. We're trying

to cross people off lists, write picks down,

and some of us are managing three or four lists.

So you'll just have to bear with us on that respect.

So that brings us to Michael Dennison's first

pick. What do you do for your first round, sir?

I'm going to take my first Avenger off the board

with Samuel L. Jackson. who is appearing in a

crap ton of movies as usual as well so and not

a bad pick there at all because the kingman all

right clicking right along here met for the what

do you got is your first pick on and sam jackson

uh... i'm gonna go then crazy and go stanley

Not even anything I thought about really like

isn't he like in the top five like his movies

of gross like So much like he he might be in

fantastic four. He's gonna be in Avengers. He

was gonna be an ant -man Nobody would have thought

about that. It's a brilliant, but you could have

just held that in your pocket See, I thought

he was more obvious than Andy circus. You at

least see his face. I feel stupid for not even

thinking about Man, all right Moving on then

for wit from which movie reviews for his first

pick. He will be taking Dwayne the Rock Johnson

Wow I did not have him rank that high but The

Rock is off of the board which DJ means it's

time for your other cohort. What are you picking

for me? Wow, he guys are high Jessica Chastain

is going to be his number one. And I know why

he did this because me and him off radio have

been talking about how she might be Miss Marvel.

So Jessica Chastain with his number one. Not

a terrible pick. Another interesting person off

of the board here, which means that it is time

for Barry from True Bromance to give his first

pick. JD, what does Barry have as number one?

Barry has Chris Helmsworth. That's his first

pick. Alright, so Markoff, Chris Hemsworth from

your list. Not off to a great start, but potentially

will get better. I can't man, that's like a minus

already. But he has potential for lots of positives

later on. It's true, it's true. You'll get that

budget back anyway. Alright, that means it's

my turn for two picks. So this is the fun time

where I get to the... picked twice and then not

pick again for 22 picks. So I'm going to try

to make them good. The first one I have is obvious

because it was my second ranked person. So I'm

going to go with Idris Elba as my first pick.

He's appearing in a lot of films, including The

Avengers. So I will take Idris Elba at number

one and for my number two pick. I'm actually

going to take Haley Atwell. She's going to appear

in Cinderella, Avengers, and Ant -Man. So I'll

just go with a box office pick on that one and

pick Haley Atwell. And then we will turn it around

and go back the other way. So that means we are

back with Barry for his second pick. JD, what's

Barry taking with his second pick? His second

pick will be Annie and Tatum. Alright, so he

has Chris Hemsworth and Channing... He's getting

the beefcakes. He's getting the beefcakes. Starting

off with Black Hat and Jupiter Ascending. Interesting.

He's coming from behind. Very bold picks there.

Alright, going back to Matt from Simplistic.

JD, what does he have? Hold on one second, I'm

gonna scroll up. Pretty soon we're all gonna

be saying that, like, hold on, we're going too

fast. I know, slow down everybody. What should

I do with this person? I think he'll like me

for this. I'm gonna pull a JD here and get him

a director, get him right out of the way. Joss

Whedon, bam, right in your pick. Matthew Stewart,

you can thank me later. Please don't kill my

family. All right, so our second director is

off of the board. uh... we'll see when everybody

that's on the actual court start taking the rest

of them uh... which is up next and if i have

to look at something alright uh... same jackson's

gone tom hardy's gone that means the next pick

for which will be miles teller uh... teller going

off in the second round all right to you that's

what we got uh... Gotta get it family again.

What else you got? I'm worried about No, I mean

my my two big ones were taken by Stanley and

Andy circus. So I'm gonna I'm just gonna go with

the Gwendolyn Christie. Oh good pick Kind of

a reach but she's a good she's gonna be she's

in a handful of movies and I think she's gonna

be They're really hiding her and this Star Wars

stuff. So I think she's gonna be big in that

movie All right, so another good pick there,

which brings us back to Mr. Denniston. What do

you have as your second round pick? I really

wanted a boy, Miles Teller, there. But we're

going to go with kind of going off your Cinderella

choice there, Cate Blanchett, who also has a

lot of sort of independent projects mixed in.

So I go for both box office. A little box office,

a little critical acclaim there. All right. It's

getting harder and harder to manage as we go

through here. Alright, over to Justin from Syncholistic

DJ. What is he? Oh man, what should I do here?

What should I do for this man? I'm gonna give

him Bradley Cooper. Boom, Bradley Cooper. I was

gonna give him something else, but I think he'd

be happy. Bradley Cooper. Alright, so Bradley

Cooper is off of the board. He could be Indiana

Jones, but that's just... I think he's waiting

for there. Alright, that means we're back to

Hiro. Remember what his first pick was? We're

going with his second pick, which is actually

somebody I had somewhat high on my list as well.

Hiro's second pick will be Don Hall Gleason.

Ooh, good pick. So, passionate on that Star Wars

money right there. And he's getting that ex machina

money. Yep, absolutely. All right, JD, are you

lost in names and papers and lists yet? Yeah,

pretty much. But at some point during this whole

thing, I can guarantee you I'm going to start

rattling off names that have probably were chosen

three rounds ago. But we're just going to go

with it, I guess. For my next pick, if she hasn't

already been taken, she might have. And I missed

it. Jennifer Lawrence. Son of a bitch. Look,

I'll trade you. Hold on, man, hold on, hold on.

What you want for that Jennifer Lawrence pic,

though? What you want for that Jennifer Lawrence

pic, though? I don't know. A lot. A lot? I'll

give you my pic. Just state it down to me. What

you want? All right, DJ's trying to wheel you

here. All right. that means we're going back

to tim from the first time what you know i had

this great idea that i was going to have this

on excel sheet i'm going to do like the the fine

function and black amount as i was doing this

i don't have time to do that uh... first time

watchers their second pick they're actually getting

their second ranked person so they got their

first rank person within the circus and now they're

getting their second rank person which is robert

downey jr uh... not listed on a bunch of movies

this year yet but uh... he's not going to go

So he's in one big one, so that's enough. So

Robert Downey Jr. He only needs 400, not a billion,

because then the billion doesn't count. I had

to draw a line somewhere. I almost had a good

line that if his first and second picks came

around both times and they probably weren't good

picks, then I guess they aren't bad either. Alright.

DJ, your actual pick, not picking for anybody

else, you're picking for yourself here. I really

want Jennifer Lawrence. Hey, man. What do you

want? What do you want JD? I give you whatever

you want right here Anything you want right here

Anything you want? You could have taken that

person I mean there's some potential there. There's

some potential fine fine fine. I just go ahead

and take Chris Pratt All right, there you go,

and if we were doing this last year This would

have been the guy to have you wouldn't have known

though He's gonna be cast as Indiana Jones. He's

circling from Indiana Jones, and he's got Jurassic

World. He's gonna be casting like 85 different

things next year that we don't even know about.

He has a Jennifer Lawrence picture coming out

with, called Passengers, I believe. So yeah,

he's a safe pick. All right, that means it's

finally time for... The movie revolt man to pick

his second pick. He's actually gonna get two

though He's gonna get a second and a third pick.

That's almost not even fair having three picks

in the first 25 I'm just kidding Matt what does

he got for his first pick? So for his second

one or first of two he put Jake Gyllenhaal That

is a weird ass name to spell And his second pick

is just as hard to spell Matthew McConaughey?

I thought for a second that he was going to get

Jennifer Lawrence. I guess that wasn't even in

the cut. So Movie Revolt takes Jake Gyllenhaal

and Matthew McConaughey as his wraparound picks.

We'll give everybody a second to breathe here.

It's going real fast. So everybody can take a

minute to look at their list. I'm going to go

real quick over who has been picked so far. So

Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Andy Serkis, and

our first director, J .J. Abrams. Lee Holland,

Oscar Isaac, Sam L. Jackson, Stan Lee with the

smartest pick of the draft so far, The Rock,

Jessica Chastain, Chris Hemsworth, Andres Elba,

Haley Atwell, Channing Tatum, another director

Josh Whedon off the board, Miles Teller, Gwendolyn

Christie, Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper, Don

Hall Gleason, Jennifer Lawrence, RDJ, Chris Peratt,

Jake Gyllenhaal, And Matthew McConaughey, that

is basically what makes up the first 25 picks.

DJ? Back to you. Hey, JD, man. Again, anything

you need. I'm thinking about it. I don't know

how long it takes you to pick. He's trying to

make picks right now. He can't think about trade.

There's like a million things going on right

now. Come on, man. You got to multitask. Multitask.

Hi, this is Greg. This is Chuck. And this is

Dan. And we are Talking Circles. Because the

world needs another podcast, we are here as Geekcast

Radio's newest edition. And as the title says,

each week we get lost in conversation about a

wide range of topics, including movies, comics,

games, art, TV, and even occasionally sports.

We play games and discuss pivotal topics like

who would win in a fight, the Kool -Aid Man or

Tony the Tiger, and examine the hot button issues

of the world of Geeked Up. We keep things fresh

by taking timeless topics in new directions.

We are simply three friends having a fun time

talking about life's most fascinating foibles.

Stay connected with us every Tuesday on iTunes

or at GeekCashRadio .com. I mean he did have

a couple directors up there that he that he Lost

out on that's good. If you look at his pigs,

he literally is picking everyone from the Avengers

He had he had JJ Abrams and Joss Whedon up there,

but he had any circuit hires so he lost out on

those two directors All right, so that means

it's time JD or in session film next pick This

one is coming from my good friend and co -host

Brennan Cassidy. We're going with Anna Kendrick

next Coming out with a ton of movies here has

a lot Ton of movies. Alright, I just like picking

for Hiro because I'm not even looking at his

list beforehand. I just like to be surprised

as to what he's going to pick next. Alright,

so we have the next person that's actually available

on his list would be Diesel Ramos. You don't

call retarded people retards. It's bad taste.

You call your friends retards when they're acting

retarded. Okay. I got nothing? Who? I don't even

know who that is. I don't know. Is he smarter

than all of us? He might. He must be the most

genius. He's like Jimmy Johnson. He might be

picking stuff that we have no idea what's going

to happen in like four months from now. I don't

know. I'm getting the feeling I want high road

to be my high money fancy football leagues just

based on this list. All right, so that means

we're going back to Justin from simplistic reviews

DJ. Who's he picking? Well because he's probably

the biggest James Bond fan in the history of

the world I'm just gonna get him out of the way.

So I don't have the hero. I didn't get Daniel

Craig. Why did I get Daniel Craig? Okay, you

got your Daniel Craig boom Done Daniel Craig

off of the list Mr. Dennison going with Tom Hiddleston

because I gotta get in on that Avengers before

they're all gone. So Tom Hiddleston, off of the

list here. Matt Fridley, what do you got next?

Okay, uh, check this one out. Michael Chapman.

These reaches are amazing. No dude, he's an extra

in at least a dozen movies. I never thought I'd

have this many people that I don't know picked

in the first 30. I don't know who he is either.

Oh, can I just take Frank Walker now? Alright,

that means we're back to Witt from Witt's movie

reviews. He took Miles Teller with his last pick,

Cate Blanchett off of the board. So Artie J's

off the board, Chris Pratt is off the board.

That means his next pick will be James Franco.

James Franco with Witt's next pick. Taking a

risk there. Never know if his movies are going

to bomb or not be allowed to be shown or what's

going to happen with him. He might be kidnapped.

We have no idea. Right. That's almost like picking

Shia LaBeouf here. You never know if he's even

going to be allowed to be on sets anymore or

what's going to happen with him. Matt from Simplistic

Reviews, DJ, what are you picking for him? He's

got Whedon, he's got Chastain, he's got Isaacs.

He must be joking. He's got Chastain. I'm looking

at his list. Adam Sandler? I guess? He is going

to appear in pixels. Isn't he an inside out too?

Alright, fine. Whatever. He will take his plus

points and then he'll take the razzy points and

just subtract that. It's like a wash, Adam Sandler.

Hey, you can't blame me. I got it as the director

and everybody on the list got taken before him.

Don't worry, Blended came out last year. Jesus,

Adam Sandler. Alright, that means we're up to

Barry from True Bromance. JD, what does he have

next? Oh, let's see here. Do it before I do.

Pick somebody that's already been picked before

I do. Dwayne Johnson's been taken. Sam Jackson

has been taken. What about Chris Pine? Chris

Pine, is he still available? He's still available.

Barry just told me that's his pick then. All

right, Chris Pine going off of the board here.

That brings it to me, and then I can try to figure

out what's left here. With my first of my wraparound

picks, I'm actually going to go with Ben Kingsley.

Just because he is going to be in a lot of movies,

and I like the looks of some of them. Plus, I

don't know. I'm not going to explain anymore

why I'm picking Ben Kingsley, besides he's in

like ten movies this year. Let's see here. Who

do I go with? I'm down between two here. I don't

think he's been taken yet. I will go with Adam

Driver. Mmm, Star Wars. He could be the villain.

Star Wars, silence, midnight special. I'm going

to take a chance there and go with Adam Driver,

try to get both box office and maybe a little

bit of some critical acclaim and some of those

other ones. Maybe not, but we'll see. Alright,

so that wraps around back to Barry from True

Bromance and the next pick is definitely available.

Yeah, Jason Statham is his next pick. Get that

fast money. Get that fast money. Yep. Get me

that fast money. All right, so Jason Statham

is off of the board, which brings it back to

you, DJ, picking for Matt again. What does he

got? Can't be worse than Adam Sandler. Uh, I

guess this is smart. Got JGL. Joseph Gordon -Levitt.

All right. Nice. Another one that's fun to try

to write out and type out while we're doing this

So Joseph Gordon Levitt off of the board. He's

definitely got the the critical acclaimed chances

coming up here WIT that means I have to pick

again And that would be Christian Bale going

off of the list here not coming out with a ton

of movies yet, but maybe Have some added towards

the end of the year, but Christian Bale. That's

the only thing I know right So Christian Bale

going off of the list. Matt, that means you're

up. What do you got next? I got typing. Lots

of typing. Oh, I don't know. I got to have two

ladies, so I guess I get the second one out of

the way with Lupita Nyong 'o. Star Wars Honey.

Good pick there. That means it's the War Machine

War Horse going next. I really have to screw

the True Romance guys. on this one because I

believe this is still their logo but I'm going

to take Nicholas Holt, Beast Boy, and get a little

bit of that Mad Max action. I definitely had

him in my top ten so I see where you're going

with that one. Justin from Simplistic Reviews,

DJ you're up again. He doesn't have a director

yet so I'm going to get Mr. Macquarie, my favorite

writer by the way, Christopher Macquarie, Mission

Impossible 5? Yeah, 5. Get him a director. All

right, so his director is taken as well, which

means we're back to high row. Let me see what

we have next Tom Hiddleston's been taken Jeremy

Renner is still available. I Believe yes. Yes.

So high row is taking Jeremy Renner some of that

mission impossible money and some of the Avengers

he's taking another Avengers person is Oh wait,

we're not on Tim I'm picking for too many people.

All right, JD, your own pick. What's coming up

next? For our next pick, this isn't necessarily

going to be box office gold, but we're hoping

it'll be critically acclaimed and will be awards

contending Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo. Revenant.

We're pretty confident that this could be his

year. Revenant. You've got to get that saggle.

This has to be his year. Yeah. We've been saying

that for how many years? I know. But this is

it. Because he's with Tom Hardy. So we're just

going to keep letting Tim pick an order, I guess.

His fourth ranked person is his next pick, and

that would be Mark Ruffalo. Every Avenger! Every

Avenger! So that is where it'll stop because

his fifth pick is already off the board. So he

will not be able to take Chris Hemsworth next.

So he did get his first top four picks. So that'll

be interesting there to see how that works out

for him. DJ, you're picking for yourself again.

What do you got? Because somebody who will remain

nameless won't trade me, Jennifer Lawrence, for

some odd freaking reason, I'm going to have to

go with another sleeper box office. Starlet who

I think is, I'm trying to get the money. I'm

probably gonna get the Razzie too eventually,

but I know I'm getting the money. I'm getting

Dakota Johnson. That movie's breaking records

all over the damn place, ain't even out yet.

Star Wars money. Alright, Mr. Fridley, you're

picking for Movie Revolt Dan. He's got two picks.

Give us his first one and then we're gonna take

a short break and let everybody regroup for a

second. So what is Movie Revolt Dan's first pick?

His first one, if no one has chosen it, is Wolverine

himself, Hugh Jackman. Son of a bitch! Alright,

so Hugh Jackman is off of the board. We were

going to take a quick break, assemble our list

a little bit better, and we'll be back in a couple

seconds. Hi, this is Greg. This is Chuck. And

this is Dan. And we are Talking in Circles. Because

the world needs another podcast, we are here

as Geekcast Radio's newest edition. And as the

title says, each week we get lost in conversation

Man or Tony the Tiger, and examine the hot -button

issues of the world of geekdom. We keep things

We are simply three friends having a fun time

talking about life's most fascinating foibles.

Stay connected with us every Tuesday on iTunes

or at GeekCastRadio .com by picking back up man

you get to pick for the movie revolt again he

took you jackman just a second ago and who is

he taking that uh... next one is tom going for

that critical claim and possibly a little bit

of money from them we will see uh... so tom hanks

is off the board and dj we're going back to you

what do you have next uh... So I'm going to hold

this person. I'm going to go with Joel Edgerton.

He's got three movies coming out. James got a

gun. He's getting black mass. He's in another

one. He's got a lot of movies coming out. Definitely

got a lot of movies. And he's up for Rick Flagg.

He hasn't been officially confirmed. And as soon

as that happens, I think I might get something.

All right. That brings us back to Tim from the

First Time Watchers. who is not going in order

anymore because Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner

are both off of the board, but he will get Scarlett

Johansson. Another Avenger. So running out of

people from the Avengers, guys. So Scarlett Johansson

off the board. JD, we're back to you. Oh, man,

this is getting difficult. I think for our next

pick, we're going to go with and I'm going to

pick it. An actress here and she may be taken

so because I have no idea She's in three movies

this year that I think can make some pretty decent

money combined Elizabeth Banks Nope, she's not

taking it I have her real high so I actually

want Elizabeth Banks more than I want Jennifer

Lawrence, so you guys are on the same wavelength.

Potential trade could happen. I mean, does she

count as a director, too? She could. Yeah. But

he already has one, but it also could be bonus

points for directors. So that's the crossover.

All of a sudden we're going to see a rush for

all the crossover actor directors. Kevin Smith,

Kevin Smith. All right. So Hiro's up next from

True Bromance, and he will be taking with his

next pick, Kurt Russell. Vast, furious money.

So Kurt Russell off of the board Justin from

simplistic reviews DJ. What does he got next?

Anybody say Thomas map of her Also known as Tom

Cruise. Anybody said that yet? No Nobody has

touched Tom Cruise yet. He goes boom Tom Cruise.

It's got the whole mission of possible gang going

on here All right So back to you. Mr. Dennison.

What do you got next? I go with Amanda Seyford

Seyford every say your last night Nobody knows

so it's okay All right Some of some of some of

the actresses falling off the list here that

people might have been banking on For the cent.

What do you got next? I got Joe crest trust He's

two named characters hunger games tonight, man

All right movies, but those are the ones that

are gonna get him money. I don't even know how

to spell his name, but I'll put it down Um wit

from wits movie reviews. I'm looking for somebody

that hasn't been picked yet and it looks like

Mark Wahlberg Mark Mark Going off the board.

Maybe a little bit of Ted to money here and in

that pic. I don't know that this year Yeah So

Mark Wahlberg is off the list Matt from simplistic

reviews. What does he got DJ? He must have done

this in the dark or something. Uh Robert De Niro

Hey, he's coming out with a lot of movies. Alright,

alright. I'm glad you - He's coming out with

- I don't want to hear later when this guy goes,

wait, wait, wait, what is my list? He's had like

six or seven films at least. That's what's gonna

happen. I never wrote that. Yeah, you wrote it,

motherfucker. uh... right so that means we're

back to bury from the true romance to bromance

packet excuse me uh... a lot of his picks are

falling off the board jd one what's his highest

one that's left oh boy uh... uh... nutrition

what about uh... james dornan is he taken nope

james dornan is up next for very It brings it

back to me, which means I should probably look

at my list. I'll get my director out of the way,

I guess, just because I don't want to be left

with nobody. Go out on a limb here and pick the

unoriginal pick of Steven Spielberg. Get that

claim money? Because you ain't going to get any

money money. You're going to get a claim. Right.

We'll take a chance and maybe he gets in the

best director conversation just because his name

is Steven Spielberg and he usually does. So that'll

be my first pick in my wraparound. Whoo, I don't

think this guy's been taken yet. So hold on a

second. Let me review Yeah, I'm gonna go with

Bill Hader He's an inside out and a good dinosaur

Two animated films as well as a bunch of other

stuff. So I will take my animated money with

picking Bill Hader All right, so we are back

to Barry From the true bromance podcast. He took

James Dornan last time and still on the board.

Who's he taking next JD? Benedict Cumberbatch.

Cumberbatch. Vic Cumberbatch. All right Off of

the board again. I don't know if this is Benedict

Cumberbatch's year, but he's definitely Could

be casting a bunch of stuff. They're already

casting Dr. Strange so that that point's gone.

So that's a good country. Dr. Strange 2 and 3.

That's 2025. That's like 80 years from now. There's

already rumors about it. Probably so. IMDB has

Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 up. Oh, God. There you

go. Alright, so that takes us back to Matt from

Simplistic Reviews, DJ. Who in the heck is that?

Mark Duplass. He's on that show, Togetherness.

He's also on the movie, I remember. Yeah, I recognize

it now. I think this is an indie darling of his.

That was one of those where you say the name,

I know it, but I looked at the name and I didn't.

Yeah. Who? If you see him, you're like, oh, that

guy. He's that guy. All right, so back to Witt

from Witt's movie reviews. Goodness gracious,

where am I? Oh, this one has not been taken yet.

Marion, I can never say your last name. Codiard.

Yes, Codiard is off of the list. A good female

pick there. And let me write it down and do a

bunch of typing and then we're back to you, Matt.

Okay, hold your laughs for a second. I'm gonna

grab Kevin James. Of course, of course, Kevin

James, Paul Blart. Paul Blart 2, as well as Pixel's

Little Boy Hotel Transylvania. Getting some animated

money there too, maybe. Not really an actor,

but whatever. That could be a Razzie sweep right

there. Might be some Razzie's in there too, we'll

see. Alright, Mr. Michael Lindstrom, what do

you got? I'm gonna go with my sleeper pick, I

guess, Judy Greer. who is in Tomorrowland, Drastic

World, and Ant -Man? She's in everything. Oh,

nice. And the Good Dinosaur, so some animated

money too. There we go. Alright, a lot of potential

for points there. Justin, from Simplistic Reviews.

DJ, do you know where you're at? He's so exciting,

I've got to get this pic for him. I'm giving

him Christoph Waltz. He's a good actor, he might

be cast in something later. I don't know. And

getting that Spectre money. Getting that Spectre

money. All right, he's got the keys to Daniel

Craig and Kristoff Waltz. My family's gonna make

it. We'll be happy with that. You're safe. All

right, back to Hiro from the True Romance podcast.

He is taking Sienna Miller with his next kiss.

She is in everything. I wish it was this last

year. She's in everything. So Sienna Miller,

no longer an option for you guys. JD, what is

an option for you? You're gonna have to help

me. I got a list of names but I have no idea

if they're available. The first one I'll toss

out to you, if she's available, Naomi Watts.

Is available. That's our pick. Alright. Naomi

Watts. She's in like four or five films this

year. Alright so that is a good pick there. We're

back to the first time watchers to see which

Avengers he takes and actually he is switching.

Screams now we are leaving the Avengers and he's

taking Harrison Ford. He's on So we're going

straight box office with the first time watching

it So Harrison Ford is off of your list guys

DJ at least we'll know exactly what what Tim's

points are before Oscar season He won't have

any additional points coming his way He'll have

the early lead that we'll have to catch up somebody

will have to catch him in the Oscar season DJ

what are you picking for yourself? Guess I gotta

get another girl saying that again. I won't be

getting banks or Lawrence, so I'll get It's between

these two people alright, I'm gonna get Katie

Mara or Kate Mara Kate Mara fantastic four, and

I think she's in the Martian Alright, so that's

worse. I'll probably make money despite it being

something. I'm not going to like Yeah, I don't

even want to pick anyone from it because I wanted

to do so terrible I wanted to do terribly but

because I wanted to do terribly it's gonna make

a billion dollars I imagine it's it's a thing

that happens a lot in these fantasy things where

it's like I don't like the Patriots But I should

probably pick some of them. Yeah, I guess I gotta

get Tom Brady. Here we go And and this is where

we get to kick ourselves I guess because one

of the categories is Oscar and award season stuff

and none of us have taken this actress yet Matt,

what has Dan taken with his next pick? Uh, Meryl

Streep? Of course, she gets nominated for breathing.

Her ATM footage is fricking nominated for best

picture. How'd we all sleep on Meryl Streep for

so long? That is... Spite. Like, eventually she's

not gonna get nominated for something, right?

I don't follow the awards, so I'm already at

a disadvantage. I'm like, what is she in, the

second best exotic marigold? The thing is we

don't even know any of the movies hardly that

she's coming out with this year But somehow she'll

come out with a movie and get nominated. We just

don't know about it yet So what is he taking

with his wraparound pick? What's next for movie

revolt man? Another big name with George Clooney

All right, so George Clooney off of the board

is everybody still breathing I'm scouring here.

I'm scouring All right. Well, you cannot scour

for too much longer, DJ, because you are up.

All right. I guess because I think this guy is

going to get cast in something big next year.

And I think he's in The Martian. I think he's

in two movies this year. I'm going with my boy,

Chewie. Chewie Tailed GF4. Oh, nice. How do I

spell that? I'm just kidding. Good luck to you.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. He might be Dr. Strange.

They have not finished the casting of that. And

I think he might be Dr. Strange's mentor. Alright,

so we're back to First Time Watchers. That means

we're back to the Star Wars cast and that will

be Mark Hamill going next. So, Mark Hamill to

the First Time Watchers. I feel like I should

just pick Star Wars people just to anger him

with my next two picks. In Session Film, JD,

do you know where you're at and do you know what

you're picking? I have no idea where I'm at,

but is Adam Driver taking? Yes. He is. Hey, the

first time! I thought maybe so. I put a question

mark down next to his name. Yeah. Let's see here.

Do you got a minute? You can talk. I'm using

up all of my 60 or 90 seconds that I'm given

here. I expect that 10 seconds. We are debating

still. Uh... That's fine. Debate away, it gives

me a chance to actually look at my list for the

first time in a long time, so I appreciate it.

Who the hell's on my team? Oh, God. What happened

to me? I used to beat somebody. My stuff's not

numerical in any order that I want, so I'm already,

like, scrambling every time. Um, what about John

Boyega? Is he available? He is available. Let's

go with John Boyega. John or Josh? John Boyega.

I wrote it down wrong on my list. All right,

so Star Wars money there, correct? Yep. All right.

Going back to Hiro. It's always fun to look at

his list. Let's see here. He took Sienna Miller

last time. Oh, Anthony Mackie. Oh, Falcon. Falcon.

So somebody that slipped through Tim. He can

be on Avengers. We don't know yet. Anthony Mackie

here. Yeah, he's not confirmed, right? No, not

yet. All right, so Justin from simplistic reviews

DJ who does he have in his next pick? Well, let

me look here. Oh really? He's going he's going

with the Marvel train he's gonna say hey look

hey look man They haven't made a bad movie yet

Paul Rudd Ant -Man. Let's go. This is the biggest

miss they got Hey Guardians work Alright war

machine that brings it back to you. I don't know

if she's been taken Kate Winslet No, she's got

Can I go with a Kate Lynch that thing there get

that divergent money and then hopefully some

Oscar love at the end of the year? Good pick

trying for both both fronts there For the sent

what extra do you have coming up next? Oh, man

I'm gonna go with Elizabeth Olson. Hope like

there's like a Godzilla 2 or something Well,

yeah, but he's open for something he doesn't

even know about yet I'm gonna pick every female

so that no one else gets any and they all get

eliminated and then I went by default All right,

so that brings us back to oh, man What actually

had Harrison Ford on his list to if he would

have picked a second ago? He would have got him,

but that is out of the question next up for which

uh... i don't think she's been picked yet would

be a margo robbie all harley quince you're a

cat doesn't count so uh... that is not been picked

yet she has not been picked at my focus will

see if maybe read ready territory or maybe good

i don't know uh... that means we're back to match

from simplistic reviews dj I love how you set

up their picks. I'm looking at that. This can't

be right. I guess, I don't know if this person's

in anything, Haley Atwell? It's gotta be a mistake

here. No, I already picked her. Oh, you did?

Okay. She's off the board. She's in the Avengers.

Is she? Yeah. That's what? Oh, she's in Ant -Man

2, that's why you got her. Okay, okay. Yep. Alright,

that's my fault. My bad, my bad, my bad. I guess

his next is Kevin Hart. I guess, I guess so.

He's gonna be two big blockbusters, I'm sure.

The dude makes a lot of money. He's getting that

comedy money, he's getting that comedy money.

That Will Ferrell movie coming up. That's true.

Alright, that means, we're back to Barry from

True Bromance taking a big risk here, I think.

I have the pic on this one, JD. His next one

up is Will Smith. Both dudes. He's in two movies

this year, I think. Yeah. So Will Smith off the

board brings it back to me or two picks here

I'm gonna take Michael Pena with one of my picks.

He's in a ton of movies Including Ant -Man, so

I will get him off of the board. And then I'm

also going to take Oh, man. I'm gonna take Sean

Bean. Oh, Jupiter ascending much? Yeah, but he's

also gonna be in Pixels and Martian. Might do

bad, might do good. He'll blank out. He'll die,

but that doesn't affect my points, so I'll take

Sean Bean with my next pick, which brings it

back to Barry, which who did he have after Will

Smith? Robert Downey Jr.'s gone. Jessica Chastain's

gone, Jennifer Lawrence is gone, Shailene Woodley.

Buried from true romance, taking Shailene Woodley.

Alright, that means it's Matt from Simplistic

Reviews up next, DJ. Uh, does he have a woman

yet? You know what? I'm gonna give him this because

I was gonna get this one to come up, but I'm

gonna give him Amy Poehler, because he needs

a girl. Alright. Amy Poehler is off. Sister's

movie with a bunch of other people. With a bunch

of other people. Alright, so Witt is up next.

Give me a second. He took Margaret Robey, Scarlett

Johansson is off the board, Dana Serkis is off

the board, Chris Hemsworth off the board. Natalie

Portman has not been picked yet, right? Jan's

got a gun. So Natalie Portman is next up for

Witt. Matt, you're up next. Who me oh I Don't

know is anyone taking Max von Psydo. Oh No, nobody's

taking him so he is yours with that next pick

Michael you're up next. I'm gonna take a Cory

stole It's got Ant -Man and the next Jillian

Flynn adaptation. So we'll go side Good pick

there Justin from simplistic reviews DJ. I think

I should reach for him because we're running

out of women Let me give him Colin Firth. We

don't I think I can wait. Colin Firth. That is

not a woman. I know. I was like should I go for

a woman? I've got time. Gotta give him Colin

Firth. I just wanted to make sure you weren't

confused. Colin Firth isn't a woman? He's got

emotions and stuff. Oh! We're back to Hiro, and

he actually did have Stanley on his list. He

had it up next, but Stanley is not on the board,

so that means he is instead going to get Stellan

Skarsgård cashed in on a little bit of that Avengers

money. So Stellan Skarsgård, if I would have

looked ahead, I would have picked him on my last

pick, but I was like, maybe he'll fall further.

I'm wrong, and it was right in front of me. Alright,

so Stellan Skarsgård is off of the board. JD,

your next pick. Oh, boy. I don't know if she's

available, but is Kate Mara available? Nope.

No. I got her. Hey, you want her? You want her?

Maybe. We can talk about a trade. We'll talk

about it. We'll talk about it. What about Jason

Clarke? No, he has not been taken yet. Jason

Clarke. Good pick. Get that Terminator money.

Go ahead and put that in your pocket. So Jason

Clarke is off the board. We're going to the next

Star Wars character that... uh... tim takes which

would be carrie fisher so go ahead and mark another

star wars cast member off of the list deejay

we got this for me here for justin i have no

idea what's what this is for you need who's your

own personal who should i take here who should

i take uh... you know what you know i'm not i

All right, we're gonna take one more pick and

then we're gonna have to take another quick second

sure that everybody has at least two of each

gender So we're down to our final two rounds

All right, first time watchers. Sorry, Adam Driver's

been taken, Oscar Isaac's been taken, John Boyega's

been taken, Daisy Ridley's been taken, Stone

Skarsgård's been taken, which means he is down

to Aaron Taylor -Johnson. He's running out of

people. from the top two films there, so Aaron

Taylor Johnson is off the list. He's not going

to have a single pick outside of those two films.

Except he's going to have a director that doesn't

know how to direct these guys. Alright, so JD,

what are you doing with your next pick here?

Again, forgive me, I have no idea if these guys

are gone or not, but Miles Teller? He's gone.

in a whole bunch of movies in small parts. So

great pick there Justin what does he got? He

needs a woman so Sorry Jay, I gotta get you Emma

Stone. She's gonna be in a Cameron Crowe pick.

She's their highest ranked chick I guess he's

thinking What about Oscars now? These don't count,

right? If she gets an Oscar, it's okay. But yeah,

she's gonna be in a Cameron Crowe romantic comedy,

so you got your one girl there, Emma Stone. Alright.

War Machine, what's up? I don't know if this

director's been taken. James Wan? Fury 7? Nope.

Every director's available. I'm so angry I picked

my director early, because I could have got all

these great people. Yeah. And I'm clearly going

for the Oscar nominations with that one so I

Don't but I'm gonna get a director since I'm

supposed to have one of those I guess I'll go

with Quentin Tarantino Maybe I'll get some something

Probably that's a good pick. I had him ranked

pretty high as well that brings us back to wit

and he is taking Gone gone gone gone gone Greta

Gerwig I'm learning things Greta Gerwig is gone

off the list unfortunate to nobody Matt from

simplistic reviews he needs another girl we have

this is his last pick or a second to last pick

um no he's got this one and two more oh this

one and two more okay then fine okay i'm not

picking this person maybe i shouldn't i don't

know he has adam divine here i don't know who

the hell that is he's in something i have him

okay yeah that name sounds familiar i get him

from because he's the next highest ranked but

All right, Adam Devine. Off of the list. That

means we're going back to Barry from True Bromance.

And I believe, let's see, he just took him. DiCaprio's

gone. Zac Efron is the next pick. So Zac Efron

off of the list for Barry from True Bromance

podcast. That means I have to go here. with my

last uh... no i got three pics left so i gotta

get a female in here somewhere uh... let's see

has anyone picked julian moore She's in Seventh

Son, so that's why nobody picked her. She's also

in Hunger Games, though. She'll probably be cast

in 67 Other Things later this year. Yeah, I'm

gonna go with Julianne Moore to get my second

actress out of the way and hope that maybe she

comes out with something that gives her an award

or something as well. And then with my other

pick, who do I have that's left? Gone gone gone

gone gone Joel Edgerton got picked right? Yeah,

I got him. I got him. Hey you want Joel Edgerton?

Nobody wants to trade with me. I'm gonna go with

I'm gonna go to Alec Baldwin. Yeah, they get

that Mission Impossible money. I forgot he's

in that. Mission Impossible He's supposed to

be in that Warren Beatty film and the Cameron

Crowe film So yeah, I'll go with Alec Baldwin

with my second to last pick, which means that

Barry is up next, and he has to have a couple

different things here. We're down to Barry's,

and he needs an actress and a director. So we

will pick the highest ranked actress on his list,

which is, if he has one, Leah Sadoo? Oh, from

Mission Impossible. Yeah, blue is the warmest

color. Yeah, she's good. So, Elias, is that,

I don't know how I'm saying the right name, but

Elias Sadu is off of the list, so his actress

is taken care of, so then we're down to Matt

from Simplistic Review for a second to last pick.

I really want to intervene here and get him somebody

better than what he has, but he needs a chick,

and the highest chick he has listed is Zoe Kravitz.

I don't know if she's in the, oh, is she on Hunger

Games? I don't even know. I'm gonna sue you to

know. I know I had a Zoe on my list, so I'm gonna

say he's probably okay. No wait, I had Zoe Bell,

nevermind. I mean, I don't know if he realizes

this, so I'd just say Zoe Kravitz. Alright, off

of the list then, and we're up to Witt's pick

here, and let's see if he has anything left here.

Greta Gerwig was his last pick, and now he's

going with Keanu Reeves. I'm thinking I'm back.

Alright, Matt Fridley, second to last pick. Second

to last pick, I'm gonna pick the funniest name

in movies, Dong Lover. Oh, isn't that Flatliner's

rip -off coming out soon? Dong Lover. Donald

Glover. Lazarus, whatever it's called. So that

is off of the board Lazarus effect. There you

go with That guy that Matt had a duplass wherever

his name is. Yeah, he's also a magic Mike and

the Martian Right All right. So second to last

pick Michael Denniston. What do you got? Michael

Keaton for minions and also hoping that he gets

some more announcements after the Kong movie

with the Oscar love this year, right? Definitely

a possibility there and getting some minion money,

which is there's a lot of that to go around so

Justin from simplistic reviews second to last

pick. What does he got DJ need another girl?

So he's gonna get himself a little bit of wig

Christine wig All right Out of that and then

we go into high row high row needs the highest

actress listed on his List here, which let me

see who that is and it's gone um... daisy ridley's

gone kobe smolders? oh avengers money so kobe

smolders will be high rose second to last pick

which means jd it's up for your second to last

pick uh... if he's available bill hater? no not

available i'm just gonna start picking off names

and just have you guys say no he's not available

um well god damn it um michael shannon not taken

michael shannon is my pick all right michael

shannon off of the board we're going to the first

time watchers and uh see who they got left here

has don cheetal been taken nope they got the

avengers money so he's found some more avengers

people uh don cheetal last actor taken for first

time watchers of his avenger star wars team is

assembled uh... dj second -to -last pick uh...

anybody said vincent diesel yet no well i guess

i'd just did because i'm taking that fast money

the other diesel got taken first diesel reynaud

Alright, so we are at Movie Revolt Dan for his

wraparound. Remember, Matt, one of these has

to be a director. So what are his two picks?

First one is going to be Nicole Kidman. Alright.

After that, I know Brandon Gleason. Is he Brandon

Gleason? Nope. Let me look at his list here and

see what his highest... Let's see. He's got...

No, not directors. There's a puppy. Just one

second here to find a director on his list somewhere.

Yeah, he's got a lot of... Who's Alejandro Gonzalez?

Oh, that's, that's, yep. That's his... Oh, no,

he's got David O 'Russell first. David O 'Russell

is going to be movie revolt Dan's director. Picking

weird guys I've never heard of. So David O 'Russell

is off of the list. DJ, it's your last pick,

sir. Oh, God, who should I end the day with?

You went with the director earlier, so you're

good. I'm good with that. I'm just trying to

think of who should I just curve it out with.

You know, because my sister has a crush on this

douche. I'll get him anyway. Garrett Hedlund,

he's going to be in Pan, and I think he might

be casting himself in the future. All right.

That's a decent pick I had that early on on one

of my drafts. Garrett Hedlund. Alright first

time watchers need a director they Missed out

on JJ Abrams and Josh Whedon so They are going

with Francis Lawrence. Oh, yeah hunger games

so Going straight box office on their ticket

here Alright JD your final pick just start naming

names. I'll tell you when you got Oh, let's see

here. Let's just browse through the Avengers

cast list and see what happens. See what hasn't

been taken. Extra number 15. No, I need to look

at this over. That's fine. Take your time. You

got your 60 seconds or 90 seconds, whatever you

need to go. I'll give you a little bit of time

because I'm going to talk here for a second.

I assume that this is a joke, but Hiro had told

me a specific name that he wanted as his final

pick. But we went into the final two rounds and

he needed an actress and a director, which eliminates

the possibility for me to make this as his final

pick. So hopefully it was a joke anyways, but

he wanted Iggy Azalea to be his final pick. Is

she in a movie? I don't know, but if she is I

will let him swap this out with his with his

last Kobe's in Furious 7 So I will let him choose

he can have either Kobe's smolders or Iggy is

a I Thought it was a joke. I didn't know it was

serious So he can have his choice of which one

of those he wants us as his final actress on

his list so JD, have we given you enough time

or you need a little longer? Oh, she's making

a cameo appearance, I'm sorry. Oh, yeah. Is Sienna

Miller available? No. Well, fuck you guys then.

That, that. I'm just going to start naming off

names then. Michael B. Jordan. Not taken, I don't

believe yet. So that can be your final pick.

Jordan that should be good. Yeah Michael B. Jordan.

Okay that brings us back to Hiro which means

that he needs a director and the highest ranking

director left on his list is Colin Trevorrow

so we will take the Jurassic World director off

of the list which means we are to Justin from

Simplistic Reviews. did you want to start with

a girl i'd from looking at this correctly uh...

i'm justin has ever stone and person will take

a look at the school or uh... uh... uh... uh...

make sense i guess i'm going to go with rogan

if he didn't do it for next year seth rogan All

right That's what's written. That's what we got

to go with War Machine vs. War Horse your final

pick of the draft. I'm going to go with Tim Blake

Nelson. Is he taken? No. Okay, he's in a few

things, but. And you already had your director,

correct? Yeah. All right. So that is out of the

way. Fridley Scent, I believe you're taking a

director with this pick. Nope, Quentin Tarantino.

I already got him. Oh, you already had him. That's

right. All right. What do you got? I don't know.

Has anyone taken Liam Neeson yet? No. I'll take

that guy then. He had a funny commercial once.

He also did taken three. And run all night this

year. So, alright, Liam Neeson off the board.

Witt is up. Witt needs a director. And the highest

director on his list. No one took Terrence Malick,

right? No. So Terrence Malick will be his director.

It's probably not a bad pick though. Yeah, that's

an automatic nomination. Nomination most likely.

Matt from Simplistic Review, his final pick.

He's going with Sleeper, Keegan -Michael Key.

I think he's in Tomorrowland. I think that's

the only... he might be in another movie, but

yeah, Keegan -Michael Key from Keegan -Keel.

Alright, Barry from True Bromance is up. Barry

did not rank any directors So he will have to

take a director from whoever is left to fill

his final spot So whatever directors are left

after the draft is over Barry can select from

for his final director spot That means I'm up

with the very last pick. We're all the way down

to our last pick, huh? Oh I guess I don't have

to worry about some things here How about...

How about Tim Roth? Ooh, wow. He's in a bunch

of different movies. Yeah, yeah. Including The

Hateful Eight. So I'll just take a flyer on him

with a final pick. And that will conclude the

live draft portion. And that was a whirlwind

of craziness. But I think it went... Mostly without

a hitch so we'll have to see I would like to

announce a couple things here first off we have

our own Web page over at geek cast radio comm

so it's going to be very simple you go to www

.geekcastradio .com That's all one word no spaces

underscores or anything geek cast radio comm

slash pffl So if you go to geek cast radio comm

slash pffl podcasters of film fantasy league

We have a web page up there The league standings

will be there. We also have the teams will be

posted there. And I'll probably add a poll here

this week that will allow you to vote who had

the best draft. And all that will be up here

when this episode goes live. So you'll be able

to go to that web page, see all the teams, vote

on who had the best team. And I will be tallying

the points that we've had up through This point

so far. I'll tell you all the January points

for 2015 And there's also going to be a possibility

that we'll do some sporadic podcast records throughout

the year where we kind of talk about who's doing

what and who's looking where in the standings

and any of the Casting decisions that we need

to be make will be announcing on those podcasts.

So those will just be like maybe a Every couple

months that we'll do one of those. So look for

that Going around the table though. Now that

you're actually able to breathe a little bit

DJ, how do you feel that you did, and how do

you feel this process went? I thought it went

pretty well. I would love to get one of my picks

that I had planned, but somebody's holding them

ransom, so whatever. But no, I think it's going

to do pretty well. A lot of the stuff we're going

to have to know until probably the summertime

when all the big announcements at Comic -Con

happen. But yeah, I think I did pretty good.

JD, are you breathing yet? Yeah, I'm breathing.

I thought it went pretty well, all things considered.

So it's just hard to. Especially since I was

talking to Brendan off air at the same time as

we're trying to figure out what picks We're going

to do and keep up with you know as everyone's

going it does get difficult But it was still

a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see our nose.

I love our list I think we came up with some

fun picks that DJ you would have If you would

have told me going into this that we would be

done in an hour and a half no way Yeah, I would

have said you're crazy I apologize if I was going

on overdrive and too fast. It was fine. It was

fine. Michael Dennison, how do you feel you did?

You seemed like you had no problem with this.

You were the cool, calm, and collected guy in

the back of the room. Slipping onto my tie. Yeah,

you had this down. To be honest, I didn't really

start thinking about my team until this morning.

And I had, I guess, the opposite strategy of

first -time watchers. I wanted to get a little

bit of the Avengers money, a little bit of Minions,

Fantastic Four. I basically wanted to spread

it out. I wanted to be able to keep up with it

and have fun the whole year. But yeah, definitely,

Tim and first -time watchers, it's going to be

first of May and then Christmas. That's about

it. I don't want to, I have nothing against him,

but I think maybe it's possible that the rest

of the league is going to be against him. and

want that strategy not to work in his favor.

But we'll see if anybody is going to be able

to compete with the Blockbuster money that he

put forth on that team. Let's just hope that

North Korea doesn't hold the Avengers ransom

because then he is screwed. That's true. Star

Wars gets bumped. Watch Alton win Best Picture

next year too. When the last minute injury by

Harrison Ford on the set pushes Star Wars to

2016, that'd be interesting. But yeah, we'll

have to see how it goes there. Some of us are

going to have some catch -up to do once we get

to the award season, I think, and try to catch

his point total. We will have to wait and see.

Matt Ferley, any comments about how this whole

thing went and your sneaky pics with people like

Stan Lee and then extras? Hey man, I told you

last night at like one in the morning I had 30

names on my list. I had to figure something out.

I don't know you didn't have the craziest pick

on the list though. I still don't understand

some high -rose pick Diesel Jones, what's his

name? Diesel Jones? Diesel Ramos. He's gonna

be the biggest Who is that? He's gonna be the

greatest star we've never heard of. Watch the

next three months. He's in everything He's the

new Batman. Ben Affleck breaks his collarbone.

They gotta replace Batman. He's gonna be Diesel

Ramos He took Lee Holland as his first pick,

come on. I just talked to Hiro and he said he

used the IMDB cross -reference tool for his picks

and that's how he came up with his list. Diesel

Ramos is in eight movies in 2015 if IMDB is correct.

We're all going to eat our words. That's more

money than Avengers money if you go by just the

money. Oh, man. Fantastic Four and Terminator

and Avengers are on that list somehow. Yeah.

Oh, he's a... Wait, he's an uncredited extra

in all of those. Does that even count? Uh, yeah,

I guess. We'll have to have a jury out on that

one. No credit, doesn't count. He's got to be

credited, I think. I have a question for the

group, though. Yeah, go ahead. Based on your

picks, is there a film that you're rooting against

now because they're from your list? I hope Avengers

fails. I hope Avengers is the worst film of all

time. I have no Avenger on my squad. That one.

Honestly, I was trying to keep up with making

picks for so many different lists that I don't

actually even know who I picked. So I'm going

to have to look back and see who my team even

consists of at this point before I can make a

comment on that. I think mine is Terminator.

I think I missed Terminator, so I'm rooting for

that one to fail hard. to have a bomb there,

both box office and Razzie style. But real quick

before we let you guys go, I want you guys all

to have a chance to pimp out your shows and your

sites, etc. So we'll just go around the table.

Starting with DJ, how can people listen to more

of you and figure out who these Matt and Justin

people are that we've been talking about? Don't

worry, they're figments of my imagination. No,

we're all on SimplisticReviews .net. We're on

iTunes on the Simplistic Reviews podcast. Facebook,

under Facebook backslash, some of the reviews.

We're on the corner, some on deli sandwiches,

we're everywhere. Twitter, under at simple tweeters,

I'm at trying to be DJV on Twitter. That's where

you can find us. All right. Michael Dennison,

how can people hear more from you? They can find

War Machine versus War Horse on iTunes and Stitcher.

We're on Twitter at War Machine Horse. We have

a Facebook page. We're also on Google Plus, so

you can check us out at various social media

places and listen to us on iTunes and Stitcher.

And this guy doesn't sleep, he puts out a podcast

every single day. Every two hours. Every two

hours. So if you want content, you've got to

start adding War Machine vs. War Horse to your

playlist. That is our selling point right now,

but once baseball season starts, it's going down

to one a week. One a week, because I'm a super

baseball fan. He says that now. JD, how can people

listen to In Session Film? They can find everything

about us at our website in SessionFilm .com.

You can also find our podcasts on iTunes, Stitcher

Radio, SoundCloud, TuneIn Radio, pretty much

anywhere you can find podcasts. On Twitter, at

in SessionFilm, and on Facebook, just search

in SessionFilm. And I don't want to leave the

guys that weren't on the record out of the picture,

so do me a favor and search out the First Time

Watchers podcast. Tim and... The rest of Hermano

and Walter do a great job over there. So definitely

check out First Time Watchers and the True Bromance

podcast if you want to hear Hiro and Barry. I

don't know if they're more comedians or more

movie buffs. They're a great mixture of both

and it's very fun to listen to. So you definitely

want to check out True Bromance. podcast as well

and of course dan with talking in circles uh...

some great content there every week and you can

find him a geocast radio along with myself and

then for the sent as we do our random things

will be having our movie podcast coming back

uh... hopefully somewhat regularly but uh...

we also have a bunch of other stuff in the cast

radio tournaments uh... anything geek related

you can find it over the cast radio and check

out which uh... blog which movie review to search

for that so we will have all that information

in the show posting. So if you didn't want to

listen to all that, you can click around once

you get to the post. But thank you guys for coming

on. Thank you. This should be fun. Yeah, thank

you. And we'll probably be inviting a variety

of you guys back, like I said, every two to three

months just to check in on how we're doing. And

we'll be looking forward to hearing on your own

individual podcast, maybe. some commentary here

and there as some of our movies that we picked

do well or do not so well. Shedding some tears

or jumping for joy, we'll see what kind of reactions

we have. Alright, that is it for this episode.

Tune in next time at GeekCastRadio .com and Weekend

at the Movies. Who was picked in between Jeremy

Renner and Nicholas Holt? It was Jeremy Renner,

Chris McCrory, a director. All right, everybody

good? Yep. Good. All right. My last pick at Corey

Stoll. Did somebody pick Kurt Russell already?

Yeah. Just making sure I want to read it out.

I just got to go through each of my lists that

I'm picking for to make sure they have two females.

Who got Paul Rudd? Uh, Justin did, from our show.

Okay, then who got Anthony Mackie? Uh, I have

no idea. That was Hiro from True Bromance. Okay,

then who got John Boyega? Oh, I put Adam Driver

in a second time, I guess. That's why. Yeah,

John Boyega was in session. Okay, I'm all resorted.

No females, no females. Scarlett Johansson as

a female. And Carrie Fisher, so he's good. Okay.

I don't even know half of Hiro's people. She's

such a weirdo. I'm telling you. Watch him win.

Don't laugh. Watch him win. Hey Manny. He had

Stan Lee on his list. He knows what he's doing.

You know what he's doing. That guy's smart. Hold

on one second. I gotta check one person. Let

me pick up Portman. Yeah All right, so he's gonna

have to pick a female here does voice acting

count to yep voice acting counts And for those

of you that are already ready, I apologize. No,

no, I'm good. I'm just getting things. I could

use 20 minutes to catch it. I could say you gave

me time to get some things. All right, hold on

here. Just make sure this person that Justin

has on his list exists. All right, OK. Just making

sure here. This Excel program's incredibly useful,

apparently. I Know who I think I know who Justin's

gonna get it's gonna fall on his lap. He's still

gonna be a chick short And both the true bromance

people need a female And then we're all gonna

have to get directors in there for those that

don't have directors I got my guys directors

out of the way cuz I knew at this point I should

have just waited directors or kickers you could

have waited this whole time and still The frickin'

like Ron F -ing Howard is just sitting there.

On Howard, you say? Oh yeah, it doesn't hurt

me any. I got Sam Mendes. I'm good. It depends

what you want to get out of it though, because

Star Wars Avengers is going to blow the shit

out of Heart and the Sea when it comes to the

box office. That's why I got Sam, because he's

kind of like, he's going to get the money and

he might get some DGA awards, nominations, at

least. That's just kind of middle ground just

like skyfall was But if rotten tomatoes counts

as well I imagine like if history is you know,

I guess a point to consider like JJ Abrams and

we didn't have both kind of proved themselves

in that ground as well So they'll probably make

a billion dollars each plus have a high rotten

tomato score most likely. Yeah It's just that

they're not gonna get any critical acclaim at

all like JJ Abrams Star Wars could be amazing

But he ain't gonna get a director's nomination

for anything. Yeah, sure They won't even use

all of the movie of the year nominations and

I still won't get one. Yeah They might win something

at the MTV Movie Awards That counts for anything

Have you had a chance to check all yours DJ?

I'm good that you're picking for and Matt did

you get a chance to look over dance? I didn't

but he's got Rachel Street and Rachel Nick Adams

Does he have a director yet? No, I don't know

Just Tom Hanks count he's directed before Not

this year George Clooney George Clooney is not

directing anything this year is he? Not that

I know of Okay, so you'll have to make his last

pick a director. You have a lot of picks, man,

for directors. I mean, that's like a million

guys out there right now. And then JD, don't

worry about Barry's. I got him and Hyra both

have to pick a female and a director, so I got

that. Are we doing ten straight or ten and one?

Ten actors, actresses, and one director. Okay,

so... Also, I guess there's technically three

picks. Three rounds left. How are we doing films

that maybe they had a little release in 2014

but had a bigger release in 2015? If the only

release they had in 2014 was a festival or a

small overseas release, then it's going to count

as 2015. If it was a limited release in December,

then it's 2014. So like, American Sniper, if

we had done it last year, would have been a 2014

pick. Right. Okay. Okay. Yep. Alright, so I apologize

for saying there's only two rounds left. There's

only, there's three rounds left actually, so

my bad on that. Alright, so we should be... One,

two, three, four, five, six, seven. Everybody

should have seven picks, right? Or eight, wait,

eight, right? Seven. Eight picks. Wait, eight?

You should have seven... Oh, yeah, and one director

or something along those lines. I picked eight

actors so far. I was making sure I got everybody

right on this. I accidentally had Oscar Isaacs

for both Matt and Justin. I just realized then

I have to read out one of them. Everybody ready?

I'm ready, but I'm going to, like, when it gets

down, I'm just going to save Dan's director for

last. That's fine. And I'm going to need to name

off some names and someone will have to tell

me if it's a director because I don't know most

of the names on his list. Oh, I can look at his

list a little bit, too. We'd probably have to

do the same thing for Barry, too. Yep. So, all

right.
