Most Anticipated Films of 2015

I got my ticket for the long way round To buy

the whiskey far the way And I sure would like

some sweet company And I'm leaving tomorrow,

what do you say? When I'm gone When I'm gone

listening to the GeekCast radio network. our

most anticipated films for 2015. That's right,

we're starting to close the book officially on

2014. Turn the page and do one of the couple

episodes that I probably look forward to the

most. When Dan and I did this last year, we did

our anticipated films of 2014. That and our box

office predictions, those are very fun records

to do. So we have one of those coming today as

our special episode. And because it's our special

episode, I decided to try to bring the two people

that I believe know movies best out there. And

one of those would, of course, be our very own

movie revolt. Dan, hello. Hello. You need to

get to know better people. There's about four

or five different ways I was going to introduce

you guys and I decided to be the nicest I possibly

could. I'm trying to shed my contrarian title

early on in 2015 here. And the other person I

have with us here is JD from In Session Films.

Hello. Thanks for having me and I'm glad to hear

that you can see that I am the best and that

2014 was an awesome year for film I just wish

I would have agreed with people more often And

we're calling this in in true true bromance fashion

We're gonna call this the definitive list for

the most anticipated films of 2015 Because I

believe when they put their top 10 list out,

they did call it the definitive. They did. Yes,

that is such a true romance thing. So this is

the definitive, most anticipated films look.

But before we get into our picks for what we're

looking forward to the most in 2015, not that

anybody doesn't know who you are or where they

can listen to you more, JD, but give us a little

bit of where people can find you on the internet

and what they should be looking forward to hear

more about you. Yeah, we are In Session Film.

You can find the In Session Film podcast on our

site at InSessionFilm .com. You can also find

our podcast on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, TuneIn

Radio, pretty much anywhere you can find podcasts.

But the quickest way to find anything about us

and to find the links to all those places is

just on our site at InSessionFilm .com, as well

as all of our social media stuff. And pretty

much if you just search In Session Film anywhere

on the internet, you're probably going to find

us. So yeah, you're lucky enough to have a unique

name that no one's tried to rip off or anything

like yeah, so there's there's easy ways to find

you guys and If you guys have not listened to

the in session film podcast yet and your movie

fans You need to correct that immediately and

listen to it. Thank you. They have great content

JD does a great job of Not only having great

co -hosts, but he has great guests and they do

a lot of fun stuff not only reviewing current

movies, but also doing awesome top three list.

And I like that you guys do top three lists.

We've done a lot of top 10 lists. And what by

doing a top three list, it really It makes you

have to put some thought into it. You do. Yeah.

And it makes it nice. And it's, it's short enough

that it makes the show, I think fluid and it's

nice and a good little segment in terms of time,

but you're right. I mean, you really have to

think about it hard. Cause some of these, some

of the, some of the categories that we pick You

can have like a million choices. So to pick just

three is is sometimes a real challenge, but it's

a lot of fun. We have a lot of fun with it. I

agree. And it's a lot of fun to listen to it.

It's one of the I was telling this in our 2014

look back at GeekCast Radio Network that this

was kind of the first year that I kind of went

from being someone that was just behind the mic

to actually listening to podcasts It's just something

that I hadn't done before but I was thinking

to myself and I basically have you know a 20

to 30 minute drive to work every day and then

about for the first hour or two that I'm there

I'm usually there by myself or possibly with

one other person and Was thinking myself after

a while like why don't I use this time to do

something that when I was thinking I'm like well

I could listen to music I usually listen to sports

talk radio on the way, but it was getting older

I can only listen to talk about the Chicago Bears

so much So I started listening to podcasts Because

I had that time and I could usually listen to

it to one at least before Before I had to do

other things with my with my ears and everything

like that and and both Talking in Circles, which

is obviously Dan's podcast and your podcast,

the In Session Film Podcast, were the two that

kind of made me realize that that was a good

decision and I haven't stopped. You had to you

had to deal with the fact that I was going back

and listening to episodes from like six months

prior. You're wondering why I'm commenting on

those episodes. Well, we appreciate the listen

and we appreciate the feedback. I've loved the

comments that you left on our website, no matter

how old the episode is and no matter how much

you disagreed with us, which was pretty often.

A few recently and directing my my ire towards

Brendan instead, so No, it's been fun and you

guys have really got me into listening podcast

obviously now I've added some other ones to the

rotation like true bromance and and some others

that you hear about so but in session film is

definitely one that you guys should check out

and and don't just take my word for it because

in I guess timely fashion here because we also

have something going on at GeekCast Radio currently

which is our second annual GeekCast Radio awards.

And what we've done this year is we let the voters

decide who our nominations would be first off.

So we took feedback from people and people could

submit their forms and talk about which things

they thought should be nominated. And we took

all that feedback and then actually created our

nominees for this year. And we also expanded

it so it's not just about people picking their

favorite TV shows, favorite comic books, favorite

movies. But we also have the ability for people

to pick their favorite key cast radio shows.

Their favorite syndicated shows that we have

our partner shows and then their favorite shows

from outside the network favorite YouTube series

so we expanded it to a lot of different categories

and and JD the Listeners and the fans as you

know and decided that you should be one of the

nominees for the best review podcast outside

of the get cast radio network, so Yeah That was

that was fun. I was glad to see you there Thank

you. Yeah, we were absolutely blown away by that.

Like I had no idea. It's not like it's anything

that we can't pay for anything. I got the tweet

from Dan, like last Tuesday or whatever it was.

And I was just, I was really blown away and I

immediately texted Brendan and I was like, you're

not even going to believe this. And then when

I found out that it was fan voting, it even further

blew me away. And I mean, I don't know exactly

what it was. Maybe I just wasn't expecting it,

but, uh, I don't know. It was, it was really

special. And we really do appreciate everyone

that listens and supports us and that voted for

us. It really means a lot. It's really cool.

Being it's really cool to be nominated with the

other four podcasts that's out there because

those are other podcasts that love and I listen

to all the time, especially simplistic reviews

are really, really good friends of mine. So it's

just really neat. We were really humbled by the

whole thing. The difference between the Academy

and the voters that helped us form our nominees

is we got we got the nominees right. Exactly.

So we have that goal for us. And one other kind

of side announcement for for the listeners of

Weekend at the movies, which is our name now,

I guess it's been changed so many times, but

We've been on a little hiatus We're coming back

with these special episodes like Dan and I did

a couple weeks ago with our top tens of 2014

and then Dan and Fridley sent and I will be back

in another week or so doing our box office predictions,

but We will be back with some regular episodes

now on a weekly basis and there's also been some

changes at the Geekcast Radio Network as far

as our schedule goes. So I want to get that business

real quick out of the way. Up to this point,

we've really had just about one podcast for each

different type of topic is what we've kind of

tried to stick to over there. So one podcast

dealing with comic books or one podcast dealing

with certain cartoons or movies, etc. And we've

just actually expanded our schedule a little

bit. And what we want to do is we want to try

to cater to people that have a distinct taste.

Maybe they only listen to podcasts about movies

or they only listen to podcasts about comic books

or whatever. What we're trying to do over at

GeekCast Radio Network is try to give you five

days a week worth of content tailored to whatever

taste you have in what you want to listen. Meaning,

if you're a cartoon fan, we're going to try to

allow for you to have a different show that you

can listen to Monday through Friday. So every

day if you're going to work like me and trying

to listen to something in the morning, we'll

have content for you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, and Friday. All different shows, all

different takes on whatever type of content you

like to listen to. I bring that up because JD,

you said that the awards kind of hit you out

of left field and you weren't expecting it. Well,

you're probably not expecting this either and

hopefully you'll be. down for this or else it's

going to cause for some awkward live air here.

But we'd like to invite In Session Films to be

our Monday content at the Geekcast Radio Network.

Sure. And something that would be syndicated

and put out on our website as well. And so everybody

could start the week listening to In Session

Films on Mondays. Yeah, absolutely. We would

love to be a part. That sounds amazing. All right.

Thanks for the invite for that. Thanks for saying

yes if not causing me to... You went all in so

so basically in session films will be the Monday

content We'll have a weekend at the movies will

fill another day and Mike and Steve and what

they do with M wire will be on another day we

also have a Affiliation with the Geek Scholar

movie news, which will take up one slot. There

will be one other open slot so if you want to

see if that's something that you could potentially

fill any of the other podcasts that are listening

out there go to get cast radio network comm and

Check out the main page. There's a grid there

that has Monday through Friday and it has different

channels. There's a TV channel, a comic book

channel, a movie channel. So check out which

the movie channels are and you'll see that there's

an open slot on a certain day. And if you release

your content on that day of the week or if you're

wanting to adjust your schedule so that you would

release on that day of the week, fill out the

application that's available there or just get

a hold of Dan or I and we can try to help you

out because we do have one more slot in our week

that we want to fill to provide five days a week

movie content for those movie fans out there.

So that is something cool. That's new for 2015

at the GeekCast Radio Network. All right. I've

ran. Go ahead. I was going to say it sounds awesome.

Yeah. And that's kind of something that kind

of was something that I needed because I basically

only listen to movie podcasts with the exception

of Talking in Circles, which they do talk about

movies, but it's more of a general podcast. And

what I was finding is, you know, I work five

days a week and I would only have content to

listen to, you know. three or two or three days

or maybe four days. And so I was having to try

to branch out and find stuff on my own. So with

Geocast reader network, we're trying to do some

of the work for you and give you some options

for what to listen to. So all right. All the

business is out of the way. Then we can get to

the fun stuff, which is talking about what we're

anticipating for movies in 2015. Remember, Dan,

this is the year that the world was going to

explode. Based on everybody freaking out about

what was it 12 to 18 months ago. Yeah this is

like the you know this is it after 2015. Yeah

everybody was was completely wanting to bypass

2014 about you know a year and a half ago and

nobody wanted to talk about any films are coming

out in 2014 it was all about the gazillion movies

are coming out in 2015 and. Trying to warn people

that hey stuff's gonna get pushed around stuff's

gonna get delayed or pushed you know out of 2015

into 2016 and it immediately happened when Batman

versus Superman the Dark Knights of Justice something

when we were rumoring all the different titles

that they were going to talk about got pushed

to 2016 now we've seen another move here recently

where Mission Impossible has has conveniently

moved to the summer of 2015 not because of Star

Wars though right. Yeah, nothing to do with that.

I love that the press release did not say the

word Star Wars ever. Yeah We all know the truth

But yeah, we're finally to 2015 the year that

everybody was freaking out about and how we're

gonna do this Very similar to what we did last

year to those that listened to Dan and I go down

our 2014 most anticipated list We're gonna have

two different sections. We're gonna have a first

section, which is just our unique picks Basically,

what happened was is JD was kind enough to rank

a good deal of movies. And I think you ranked

what, 50? Yeah, 50, yeah. Dan ranked 100. And

I stopped it where JD did I stopped at 50 but

we took we took each other's top 30 the top 30

that each of us ranked and We broke it down from

there So what we have is if there was a film

that was on all three of our list We're gonna

save those films till the second half There was

nine films that all three of us are very much

anticipating for 2015 So you'll hear that in

the second half in the first half We're gonna

count down the films that were more unique to

just either one person's list or that only appeared

on two of the three And we'll just kind of rotate

around there was a couple films Like I said that

wrote that appeared on two of the three lists

in that case whoever ranked that movie higher

We're gonna wait until that person comes up to

talk about that film, but they love it more.

What's that? Because they love it more. They

love it more apparently they're Anticipating

it more before we get into our picks though,

Dan Maybe be fun to take a quick look back at

what you and I had for the previous year and

see if we were either out of our minds or What

we learned about doing this last year. I'm just

gonna read real quickly recap Dan and I's individual

top tens from 2014 I'm assuming Dan you remember

most of them, but I have it here in front of

me just in case you don't One thing that I learned

last year that I'm gonna try not to do this year

is pick a bunch of movies that aren't gonna come

out It's always a good idea because I'm pretty

sure there was like six films I had in my top

30 last year that didn't even come out in 2015

Yeah, I had a few I had the gunman James got

a gun Serena a few other movies that did not

end up coming out until this year. Yeah, I had

I had Everest Which is coming out this year and

a couple other ones. I'm not gonna get into But

uh breaking down our top 10 from 2014. I had

uh, maleficent was my number 10 most anticipated

film Then I had muppets most wanted Good lord.

I had transcendence At eight transcendence was

my number four last year. Hey, I i'm a sci -fi

fan I usually anticipate in those types of films

johnny depp without makeup. I mean, come on I

thought maybe um, and I had captain america the

winter soldier at seven uh guardians of the galaxy

at six i'm actually proud I had that at my top

10 because Yeah, it was not on a lot of people's

radar there and I definitely did not predict

it as a box office hit Oh my goodness Teenage

Mutant Ninja Turtles at number five That's nostalgia

I'm pretty sure I said on that record that this

has a good chance of being crap you did I went

back into the woods at four Interstellar at three.

I think everybody had interstellar really high

list. Uh -huh. X -Men Days of Future Past was

my number two most anticipated film and Dawn

of the Planet of the Apes was my number one.

All I can say is that I'm happy that at least

the one I had at the top did not disappoint me.

I really enjoyed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

So, Dan, you had Box Trolls at 10, Gone Girl

at 9, Boyhood at 8, How to Train Your Dragon

2 at 7, Godzilla at six. I apologize Captain

America at five Foxcatcher at four inherent vice

at three interstellar at two and x -men Days

of future past at number one. How did you feel

that your most anticipated films did last year?

I Think nine out of ten. I at least had positive

responses to you. So that's not bad I was gonna

say Dan your list was mostly pretty good for

for how I thought about him Anyway, I mean there

was a few that I was kind of if you know, that's

pretty good list I think yeah, I mean there's

so much like I don't like I Bucksholz was a little

disappointing, but I still sure. Yeah. But, uh,

you know, Godzilla is the one that I gave it

a positive review, but it's, it did not at all

come close to what I was hoping for. So go ahead.

I was going to say it's one of those movies that

it's flawed. You know, it's flawed, but you can

still have fun with it. At least I, yeah. Definitely.

I mean like, you know as long as the humans aren't

on screen I'm having that was supposed to be

what my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pick was

like there was I was hoping it was gonna be flawed

but still fun Yeah, it didn't end up any of those

they ended up flawed and not it was very flawed

Elevator scene was pretty fun. Yes, we had one

good So all that should tell you guys is is when

you're listening to our list in 2015 completely

disregard everything I say and and pay attention

to what Dan says and and hopefully JD has just

as good a luck because Danny yours is almost

reminiscent to what a lot of people had is their

top 10 films I mean gone girl Boyhood how to

train your dragon Fox catcher Inherent vice and

a lot of people put either Captain America or

x -men or guardians one of the three in there

So yeah, I mean I didn't take much chances. I

kind of gave one with this dab of talent Taking

Michael Jordan as your number one All right,

so with 2014 out of the way as far as what we

did last year Let's look at what we did this

year. We will let the guest host go first. So

JD As far as our unique list go, what is your

number 10 most anticipated film for 2015? Yeah,

my number 10 is I'm going to a director that

I actually wasn't that familiar with until a

couple years ago. For my number 10, I'm going

with Joe Swamberg and Digging for Fire. And mostly

I don't know anything about this project. I don't

know much about the story other than it was written

by Joe Swamberg and also Jake Johnson, who is

an actor. that I really like quite a bit. And

to see him now into the writing process with

Joe Swanberg is really interesting to me. The

cast for this film looks really intriguing as

well. I'm hoping that... And I'm kind of expecting

that this is going to stay within kind of that

mama core style where they kind of freestyle.

They have a semi script and then they're just

kind of kind of go with it. Uh, but like I said,

I don't know much about this project. I'm mostly

going on this pick based off of, I really loved

drinking buddies in 2013. I really liked happy

Christmas last year. Not quite as much as drinking

buddies, but I still liked it quite a bit. Uh,

and so those two films, two for two for me. So

this was a pretty easy choice for me. looking

forward to this. I know it just kind of premiered

at Sundance. I haven't read any reviews yet.

I'm trying to stay away from that, but one I'm

really, really excited for. Yeah, Drinking Buddies

was actually my number 10 film of 2013 when we

did the list. I don't know how much would have

changed since then. I've seen a few more films,

but yeah, it was one of my top 10. So I'm definitely

intrigued by that one as well. My yeah, it's

on my it's in my top 100 sigma number 37 or so.

I do love drinking buddies I'm a huge fan of

Jake Johnson as well. I love new girl. He's on

he was in that and yeah, I went to go see let's

be cops and He couldn't make it any good, but

he tried That movie was just kind of a spinoff

of new girl It was yeah, exactly Anna Kendrickson

digging for fire too. So yeah, that has me excited.

So yeah, I'm excited for it All right. My number

10 is I actually didn't know much about this

Dan until I went over your top 100 because I

had done You know tried to do my best research

and I had gone, you know through a lot of different

sites and what movies were coming out in 2015

and scoured things but I somehow would miss this

one until I Spanned a scan over your your top

100. My number 10 is gonna be truth I am a sucker

for New stories about the news kind of of the

ilk of good night and good luck That's why I'm

somewhat intrigued about this. I don't know if

it'll be to that level But just getting in behind

the news and I guess the history buffing me has

a sweet tooth for that I guess but To go into

a time period that I necessarily wasn't paying

it as a as much attention to the news Being younger

to kind of look back and see what kind of things

were going on during that time And then just

kind of go behind that story Dan. I know you

have that on your top 100 list So maybe you can

give a little bit more as to why that made your

list Well like you I'm a big fan movies that

surround about about news and for those that

don't know this kind of is Robert reference can

be playing Dan rather during like his last right

before his retirement when he has a expose on

George Bush during George Bush Jr., I should

say. It kind of goes into that. Storyline and

like in this gigantic report that he went through

and I like I'm excited for it too because of

the news aspect and I like Robert Redford and

Seeing him playing that character of Dan Rather

should be kind of interesting I'm a little worried

it might be a little too politically like heavy

and Kind of just one of those movies that's more

interested about making a point than actually

making a movie But uh, you know the concept seems

interesting and I like the I like the cast so

yeah, I don't remember who it's being directed

by it's being directed by James James Vanderbilt.

And this is my one concern with that movie is

he's written some screenplays, some of them I

don't care for at all. And this is his directorial

debut, I'm pretty sure. So that's where I'm a

little iffy too, especially with some of the

political stuff you're talking about. Dan, I'm

not sure if he'll be able to handle that appropriately.

And Robert Redford has had similar films in the

past, like Lions for Lambs, where It was it was

just like blatantly just a political message,

which can get kind of annoying even if you agree

with it It's just that it's like all right. I

get it. I get what you're trying to do here So

that's my one worry, but yeah, the idea does

it's an intriguing story Sure And that's something

too that that kind of will get into as we go

through our list is there's a number of different

reasons Why why a film can make your most anticipated

list or why you're looking forward to something

obviously? It could be related to a certain franchise.

It could be the actual story or plot that you

find intriguing It can be the set of actors,

you know, whoever's cast for it, or in some cases

the director. You know, I mean, we all have different

things that we look for that make us interested

in it. That one, you know, not so much the director

like JD is talking about, but it's it's the subject

matter. And hopefully, you know, hopefully it's

not as much Alliance for Lambs and a little bit

more like a good night and good luck for me.

Otherwise, I probably will be disappointed with

it, but it's still something that intrigues me

enough that that I'll be there to see it. So,

Dan, what's your number 10? Well, this is speaking

of why you're interested in a film This is one

I'm interested mainly because of the director

who like JD you mentioned with your number 10

that you weren't Aware of the director until

a few years ago. This is a director I wasn't

aware of until last year when he made like father

like son My top ten last year and that's the

director is I'm gonna butcher this name up front.

So just go for it man. Over it hero hero kazoo

Karita and the movie he's making is called That's

also gonna be something I butchered Unimachi

Diary. I think it got Diary right. There's not

much about it, but basically the story revolves

around three sisters who live in their grandmother's

home and one of the new sister ends up arriving

and it's just this family dynamic. And one thing

I loved about Like Father Like Son is it took

a concept that was rather basic one you see all

the time and really did it interesting. Story

with it. So I really like that and I was really

surprised by that film. So That has me intrigued

about what he's gonna do next. So it is gonna

be a Japanese film So those who don't like subtitles

may not want to partake in it. Yeah, I'm rather

Mike already stopped listening to this episode

I don't know anything about his diary movie,

but I really liked like father like son, too.

And I loved the way that he handled the characters

in that movie, especially I thought they were

really intriguing, all of them. And there was

some nice exploration with several of them, especially

the two fathers, which I thought was really,

really compelling. So based off of that alone,

I would agree, Dan, it's it's at least worth

giving it a shot for sure. And if his name is

not Hirokazu, I think it should be. I don't think

it is but I like it. That's just fun to say.

There you go That might be We're gonna get some

type of response from that from Pokemon fan somewhere

out there with a picture of that character JD,

what's your number nine? My number nine comes

from a director who does not make bad movies

I'm going with Matthew Vaughn and Kingsman the

Secret Service at my number nine. I really don't

care Who's in this movie? I don't care what the

story is. The fact that this was made by Matthew

Vaughn is all that I need to know to go see this

movie. Cause I've loved everything he does. I

love the first kick ass X -Men first class. Everything

he's done for me has been amazing. So that alone

is intriguing. I've loved the trailers. I do

like the cast though here. Um, you know, with,

uh, Sammy Jackson and Colin Firth and Mark Hamill

and a few other people list goes on and on. And

it's this R rated action movie, which he does

really well. So I'm really, really excited for

this. Um, and I've heard from some early reports.

I don't know how true it is, but the very, the

very few things that I've read is that this is

possibly arguably maybe his best movie yet. So,

uh, I couldn't be more excited for this movie.

I'm glad you've heard those reports because I

was, I'm. Looking forward to this for a couple

of reasons number one for my own liking but it's

also a film that my girlfriend's looking forward

to and she actually Came to me today and she's

like I've heard bad things about Kingsman and

I really want to see it Yeah, I mean the one

thing that is concerning to me Is that it was

supposed to come out at the end of October last

year and then they moved it to February Which

is usually a dumping ground, right? this time

of year. So normally when movies move from the

fall to like Monuments Men did last year, that

was not a very good movie. And so I'm a little

concerned because of that, but it's not enough

that when I consider Matthew Vaughn and what

he's done and what I've seen from the trailers,

it's hard for me to take that as Too concerning

I guess like I'm still more excited than I am

concerned right and I just told her this and

the same thing that Obviously based on my track

record. I'm clearly not concerned about anybody

else. I like you to move here. Yeah So I said

no worries we're still gonna go see it um But

yeah, I think that one's an intriguing one to

hopefully hopefully not a letdown with the with

the bump into February my number nine is I really

don't. This is going to be a prime example of

it's simply an actor that is placed in this movie

in my top 10 here. And that is going to be Beasts

of No Nation starring Idris Elba. Yeah. I mean,

the setting and the actor and I'm sold. So. There's

not a lot I gotta say yeah, there's not a lot

out I mean as far as like a cast or or a lot

of things about it I mean, there's there's a

decent plot summary obviously and we all know

that the setting that it's going to be in kind

of the tone of the film and To me, I don't necessarily,

this is the type of film, I don't necessarily

need to know too much about it. I don't even

want to know too much about it. I want to go

in with a clean slate and just see Idris Elba

act and hopefully everything else comes together

so I'm not disappointed. Another thing to go

along with that when you were talking about all

you need to hear is Idris Elba in this setting

and I would agree with that for sure. But the

one thing that I would add to that After last

year is that the director here is the same director

that did true detective Which was my favorite

TV series of last year, right? So you add that

to the mix and yeah, just say that and I'm on

board. So All right, Dan, what's your number

nine? My number nine is Speaking of directors

that have kind of proven themselves and this

is probably one of the directors I think is you

know been really hitting it out of the park with

every film. I don't think You know, again another

director I think has done a bad movie and that

is Jeff Nichols with yeah Midnight Smith You

know, it's he you know, Jeff Nichols was done

take shelter mud He's his films have been this

like tremendously great and he's been really

great at getting really strong performances from

actors Beth McConaughey Michael Shannon Michael

Shannon once again stars in Midnight Special

along with Adam Driver and Jill Edgerton So that's

kind of like the strong cast with a really strong

director Um, not a lot out about it yet. It was

actually kind of, some people thought it might've

came out last year, but it's actually coming

out this year. And it's about a father and son

who, uh, go on the run after they find out their

son has like special powers and don't really

know what they mean by special powers, which

has me interested. Cause I think back to something

like take shelter, which kind of had a supernatural

element where you weren't really sure if what

you were witnessing was just someone going crazy

or whatnot. So Curious to see what this, what

this entails. So, and it has me excited, mostly

because of Jeff Nichols and I'll see anything

he does. That's a good reason. Um, yeah, yeah.

Jeff Nichols and Michael Shannon together are

incredible. So this one, for whatever reason,

slipped under the cracks for me a little bit.

I think if I would have remembered this, this

probably would be in my, my top 20 most anticipated,

quite honestly. Uh, I love everything you said,

Dan. I'm a hundred thousand percent on board

with what you're saying. That's one of the reasons

why I love both making the anticipated list and

then listening to other people's is that's a

time when you hear about stuff that you either

don't know about or you've forgotten or you've

never heard anything about compared to like when

you're listening to everybody's top 10 movies

this year and you're you kind of have an idea

of what's gonna be on there give or take, you

know, I mean, you know what the possibilities

are. But I learned a lot listening to all these

anticipated films lists. So hopefully everybody

else out there can hear about at least a couple

of films here that they didn't have on their

radar before that we list here. So that brings

it back to you, JD. What's next on your list?

For my number eight, I'm going with, again, a

director I wasn't familiar with until a few years

ago, but his last two films have really, really

sold me. For my number eight, I'm going with

Dennis Villanueva and Cesario which is a film

that one I think has an amazing cast as well

with Emily Blunt and John Bernthal and Josh Brolin

and I don't know about you guys. I absolutely

loved enemy last year. It was in my top 20 or

close to it. I also really liked Prisoners in

2013 as well. So I really loved what this guy

does. I love his great direction and his aesthetics

that he's able to create. I think he gets some

amazing performances from his actors. I thought

Jake Gyllenhaal was just as good an enemy as

he was a nightcrawler in my opinion. And I thought

the performances he got out of Hugh Jackman and

Jake Gyllenhaal and Prisoners was amazing as

well. So I'm really, really looking forward to

this. Again, I don't know anything about it other

than just the short synopsis about it that you

can read on IMDB. But, um, again, just because

of the cast and the project, I mean, that is

enough for it to sell for me. So I'll be really

intrigued to see a poster or trailer, um, you

know, whenever, whenever that comes out. But,

uh, yeah, I'm really looking forward to what

Dennis Villanueva has next. He's just one of

those directors. That's really high on my radar

right now. Yeah, I even really liked on unsung

D as well, which came I think might have been

his first film and I think what's really interesting

about him as a director is that each of his movies

have been really distinct and unlike each other

like there's they've All like enemies not really

all that much like prisoners and unsung D's completely

different than all They all have like aspects

that you can kind of come to see and there's

certain thrilling aspects that are Concurrent

through all of them But overall like each is

kind of unique in its own its own film does seem

like he he's very well and yeah only is rather

short And I think the stories that it tells are

really interesting and there's a lot of depth

to them. I know prisoners was a little bit more

straightforward than enemy, but it still had

little pieces of it that you could really chew

on and really dissect a lot. And of course, enemy

was that the whole movie was like that. So he's

just really good at bringing some really compelling

films, I think. Yeah, I think that's a great

picture GD and that's actually a film that was

on my top list in the early iteration of it and

then as as more films more films became Evident

to me. I just missed and just kind of slipped

through the cracks there But it would definitely

was something that I have on my radar. I like

prisoners Still need to see enemy. I apologize

It's very high on my list of to do I'll be curious

to hear your thoughts too because it's it's it's

not It's not it's when you have to sit on it's

certainly not for everybody So and based off

of other films that are kind of like it that

I know your opinion of I'd be very very curious.

I like prisoners. I do I am growing to like Jake

Gyllenhaal more and more every time I see him

I really liked him in end of watch and Yeah,

yeah ever since then he's kind of been on my

radar So definitely willing to give enemy a shot

It's it's been you know as I as we go through

the process of trying to select which movies

we're gonna watch It's it's always in the discussion,

so I think it's about time for it to come up

here All right my number eight I think I might

be Somewhat alone on this one because I haven't

seen it make too many other people's lists so

that scares me but my number eight is gonna be

the gunman and Only because I wanted to put two

Idris Elba films in a row So this one has big

sites I just Elva Javier Bardem and Sean Penn

That's usually you know anytime you can get three

actors that I really like that's usually a good

thing I know some Sean Penn somewhat polarizing,

but I'm actually a big fan of his And it's being

directed by Pierre Morel who directed District

13 from Paris with Love and Taken. I'm not necessarily

saying that's like a Hall of Fame resume, but

I do like some of his work there. And the main

selling though here is obviously Sean Penn, Idris

Elba and Javier Bardem all being in the same

film. Actually had that my list last year because

for my top 30 last year, but I'm not coming out

So I that's only reason I didn't include it for

this year, but I do look forward to it It could

be Sean Penn's taken which is kind of mine mind

-boggling to think about but we're running out

of people to do that with so we Can do it I can

do it I can't either Yeah, now I'm coming up

blank too. So we'll get comments on this people

inform us Like 15 that we're missing out on So

that is my number eight Dan, what about you?

Well, this is one we actually kind of talked

about a little bit already and I had like two

serious traumas So I kind of need a fun blockbuster

in here this put things up a little bit and it's

one that's actually I'm anticipating it so much

that they moved it up five months from Mission

possible five. I actually I like the mission

possible franchise. I think is really interesting

It's kind of like a good comparison to like the

fast and furious franchise and it's actually

kind of gotten better the longer Yeah, so like

I you know mission possible ones All right, two

is kind of a it's kind of a mass three gets better

and then four I think is I love mission possible

for a lot because it's preferred but So yeah,

and that's I mean that's one issue like you with

Brad Bird not being in missional possible five

Little worried that you know, that's his absence

is gonna be notice. It's going to be directed

by the guy who did Jack yeah, yeah Christopher

McQuarrie who you know, Jack Reacher was kind

of bland, but I'm an on a bash Tom Cruise fan

I know he gets a lot of hate. I like it too.

I really like him too. Yeah For a lot of good

reasons, you know his some of his personal life

sure as a movie fan. I'm a fan Yeah, no one can

run on screen But so yeah, and I had edge of

tomorrow or whatever they're calling in on my

list last year So I guess I have to have a Tom

Cruise movie every year But it has me excited

and a lot of people are coming back and including

Jeremy Renner So that that has me excited fair

enough. I'm willing to give Tom Cruise a chance

after after live die repeat On the edge of tomorrow,

whatever they're calling it, whatever DVD cover

you get. So yeah, I'm willing to give them a

shot. I yeah, I'm excited for it too. I know

I wasn't a huge fan of Jack Reacher, but I really

love Tom Cruise as well. And I don't know if

you guys have heard about some of the stunts

in this film, but I saw some of the photos. It's

kind of crazy. It looks nuts. So yeah, I'm pretty

intrigued for sure. All right, JD Europe for

my what are we on number 76? Whatever, whatever,

whatever number seven. My next one is my first

blockbuster as well. I'm going with my girl.

I'm going with Jennifer Lawrence and the Hunger

Games Mockingjay part two. I think I'm the only

one on the planet that really loved Mockingjay

part one. It seems like so. Uh, I loved it. I,

you know, I had the same experience actually

with the Harry Potter series when they split

up the last, uh, the last film, if you will,

I really liked part one better than part two.

And, and I think I'm going to have the same experience

here. I've read the book. So, uh, part two will

be more action and it's going to have this huge

climax and it'll probably have a lot more fun

aspects to it. But what I loved about part one.

Was it was more gritty and it was emotional and

it was more human to me. There was a huge struggle

there with the Katniss character that I loved.

I absolutely dug it. So I'm really looking forward

to part two because I'm hoping that they extend

that even though I know there's going to be a

lot more action. It's probably going to be more

fast paced, but it's the same director, Francis

Lawrence. Um, and of course all the cast as well.

So, um, so yeah, I'm pretty excited to see where

it goes. I know a lot of people weren't a huge

fan of how the book ended. A lot of people consider

the third book actually the worst of the three.

I'm kind of in that camp, but I've heard that

they've rewritten the ending to this film. So

it's going to be different than the book. So

I'm really curious to see all of that. So based

off of what I've loved about The Hunger Games,

it's only gotten better and better and better

for me. So I'm hoping that the trend continues

with Mockingjay part two. And regardless of how

well it's received or not received from critics,

it is probably going to be the first, I believe,

the first Hunger Games film that's not going

to take number one at the box office. Is that

correct? Yeah, at the most, it'll be number three.

I think that's pretty much guaranteed at this

point. I think all the other ones have been number

one. Maybe I'm maybe I'm misspeaking with that.

The last one didn't, because Guardians. No, it

did. It surpassed Guardians. Oh, it did. Bullshit.

Hey, watch your language. Just kidding. I don't

know if this is considered a blockbuster. You

guys both went with blockbusters with your last

pick. But it's somewhat close, I guess. Dan I

think you had this one rated pretty high on your

top 100 as well and that will be the Martian

for my number seven Why because I don't learn

from And and Ridley Scott can just continue to

abuse me But man, I have a soft spot for Matt

Damon. I also have a soft spot for science fiction

and Yes, Ridley Scott's directing it but Whatever,

I'll still go see it and I'll still be excited

for it. Jessica Chastain, Michael Pena, Jeff

Daniels, Sean Bean, Egya For, or however I mispronounce

his name. So I mean, it's got a ridiculous cast,

it's science fiction, I'm... Probably going to

be burned on this but the Martian is my number

seven I have learned with Ridley Scott as of

late to not get excited just because it has a

good cast because that doesn't mean anything

with him apparently But I will say him and sci

-fi in the past On in his resume have usually

yeah, it that's usually been his best work So

i'm hoping him going back to that will be a step

up. But yeah his his last few Um, and i'm hoping

it's better than prometheus. I wasn't a huge

fan of that film Although i've liked that a lot

better than his last few films, but I agree.

You're you're kind of playing with fire there.

Yeah, I keep having visions of like prometheus

and alice i'm like Somehow because of Matt Damon

or this guy like forming a movie together and

hopefully that product is good. I don't know

if that's One of the few that really like I like

Prometheus I think it was I I know I see it to

choose but I thought I thought it was overall

enjoyable So that's kind of why I like I I'm

excited that he's getting back to sci -fi Yeah,

and yeah, but the cast doesn't mean anything

see the counselor and exactly That's what I was

referring to. Yeah But it did have a scene in

my top scenes list of 2013 back in the... It

was certainly interesting, that's for sure. Dan,

what do you have at number seven before we go

down that path? Well, my number seven actually

doesn't even have a title yet. I'm assuming that's

going to change soon. But right now it's just

called the Untitled Christmas Eve Project by

Jonathan Levine. And if that name sounds familiar,

it's probably because you've heard it before

in relation to a movie that came out a few years

ago called 50 50, which I thought was fantastic

and made my top. That was my number one film

of that year. Yeah, I think it was it was in

my top five, if I'm not mistaken. And it was

great. You know, great. Combination of comedy

and drama and with this he's once again teaming

with Seth Rogen and George and Gordon Leffit

also anything Mackey is is joining the cast as

well as and Lizzie Kaplan so I Has me really

excited just cuz how much I love 50 -50 seeing

these guys all together again and Jonathan Levine

also made Warm bodies. Yeah was a lot better

than I thought exactly Awful, but it'll be kind

of you know not interesting little film So it

has me excited for what he what he can do with

this and it is covert in my m Goldberg Who also

co -wrote he co -wrote a lot of stuff with Seth

Rogen including interview So I do know that their

writing style can get kind of tedious at times

But I just like the castle like the director

and the the concept seems rather interesting

It's just really just you know sending around

Christmas Eve in New York City, so Found that

there's at least a dozen movies out there. They

don't have titles yet. I Like going through lists.

It's on title this project untitled that project

But makes it yeah, that's what they're going

with. It's like it's like going with yeah. Yeah,

that's really interesting going back to to something

that you guys are saying. I can't remember which

one of you said it, but, you know, going back

to this idea of doing this list and, and getting

something new out of it. I hadn't, I hadn't heard

of this project yet until you just brought that

up, Dan. And, uh, I completely agree. 50 50 was

great. And warm bodies was such a nice surprise.

I thought it was going to be trash. And I was

really pleasantly surprised by it. So I'm adding

this one to the list as we speak. Very cool.

Excellent. Um, well what's one that is on your

list JD then at number six. At my number six

is a film that was supposed to come out here

pretty soon and Then just got pushed back to

December and I'm actually really excited for

that move because I'm talking about Ron Howard's

in the heart of the sea I Really liked the trailer

when this came out. I loved the poster for this.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people have seen this

by now. If you haven't, or if you're not familiar

with it, it's pretty much the story that inspired

the book Moby Dick. Ron Howard with his films

when they're based off of true stories are kind

of biographical. tend to be his best. And his

last film Rush was number eight for me in 2013.

And it was another biographical film. So I'm

loving that he's kind of sticking with that genre.

I love Chris Helmsworth in this, at least in

the trailer. I think he looks great. It looks

like he's going to be a much better fit in this

than a recent project of his that just came out.

I've already, I've already awarded that the worst

cast. What the heck. But I think he looks much

better here and I'm pretty excited for this.

I love, like I said, I love the move to December.

I love that the studio is so confident in it

that they're going to move it into award season.

So I am huge, huge on this movie. I'm definitely

down for it. It's actually in my top 25. So I

also had it amongst the ones that were possible

for this countdown. Definitely looking forward

to it. Ron Howard does a lot of good things and

it just seems like it could have that. epic feel,

but also a good emotional tug to it. So I think

it has a lot of elements that could come together

and work pretty well with it. Absolutely. All

right. My number six, since you had one at number

six, I was on my list. I think I have one that

is on your list at my number six. And that would

be the Sea of Trees film, uh, tracked by Gus

Van Sant starring Matthew McConaughey, um, Ken

Watanabe, Naomi Watts. Um, I mean, I could have

stopped at Matthew McConaughey. Guess that's

one another person that really his name and I'm

good. I'll watch it. Can I hear him do some voiceover?

I don't know But uh, but Gus Van Sant, I mean

he has a pretty Yeah, pretty big filmography.

They're probably one of the biggest films that

you might know from him would be good while hunting

But he did milk recently and I mean he's done

a ton of stuff. So I mean you got an experienced

person here um with this uh kind of drama slash

mystery uh tone from what i'm getting um as far

as the the plot synopsis um i just think this

is this one's intriguing and and could have a

lot to chew on so sea of trees is my number six

jd i know you're looking forward to this one

too yeah yeah it's it's definitely in my in my

top 30 um for the ones i'm looking forward to

as well so Yeah, for I really don't have anything

to add other than what you just said. I love

the guy's track record and the cast here as you

were talking about looks amazing. So I'm going

to try and go into it as blind as possible. I

don't know much about the story other than, you

know, what's the little synopsis that's out there.

So, yeah, exactly. Exactly. All right, Dan, what's

yours? Number six. Well, I'm a big fan of like

dystopian future films, which is kind of why

this is really high on my list And it's a zebra

Zachariah. Yeah starring Margot Robbie from Wolf

of Wall Street fame Chris Pine, you know Captain

Kirk himself and Turretel Ejiofor so really and

that's the cast because it's it's in a future

where basically the world has somehow ended and

these three are left and it gets into their relationships

with one another. It's also directed by Craig

Sowell, who did compliance two years ago, which

if you haven't seen, it's the film about a fast

food worker who is accused over the phone of

stealing. And I don't want to get anything away

in that film, but what happens is kind of based

on his crazy. And yeah, it's a, and that wasn't,

I thought, I had some issues with that film,

but I thought it was overall effective. So it

has me really intrigued and mostly the cast,

mostly to tell you before and Margot Robbie ever

since she did. Well, Wall Street was looking

forward to like her next big project to tell.

I mean, after 12 years of slave, I've actually

been a fan of him since I saw him in the Serenity

a few years ago. I always thought he would be

a perfect casting for Black Panther. But, you

know, you can. That has me excited. Yeah. And

like I said, I know we get tons of dystopian

feature films. They're an abundance of them.

Maybe some could say too much, but... Considering

the the cast evolved it. I think there's potential

for this one to stand out a little bit I know

it did premiere at Sundance. I don't know what

the reception was overall Like I think JJ you

mentioned I try to avoid that until I can go

see it Looking forward to seeing it come out.

I agree. I really like compliance as well It

was very effective for me overall just such an

arduous film to watch and I know that this is

another dystopian film is you're kind of talking

about and my biggest concern going into this

is is it gonna Is the kind of love triangle stuff

going to work? Or is it going to feel like a

Pearl Harbor when you have all this action and

chaos surrounding it? And is that going to mix

well? And that's my only concern with the film.

But when you look at the cast involved, the director,

as you were talking about, I mean, it's certainly

interesting. It's definitely my top 50 as far

as my list as well. I'm definitely looking forward

to it. Haven't read any reviews either. I'm staying

away as much as I can. I think you just made

me throw up a little in my mouth when you said

Pearl Harbor. I have some pretty strong feelings

about that film. But yes, I won't go into it

here. All right, JD, that brings us to our top

five as far as our unique list go. So start it

off with your number five choice. Yeah. My number

five is a film that I haven't seen in a ton of

top 10 most anticipated lists, but maybe I just

haven't searched hard enough. My number five,

I'm going with Gamora Del Toro with Crimson Peak.

And as much as I love Del Toro's, you know, fun

adventure films, I love the Pacific Rim and the

Hellboy movies are fun. I love that he's getting

back to kind of his roots kind of filmmaking.

I love the devil's backbone. I love Pan's lab

brand. I think those two films are incredible.

I know he's working on some sort of third film

to make a trilogy out of those kinds of films.

And so I definitely want to see him get back

to that. This also has Tom Hiddleston and Mia

Wasikowska in it. And Jessica Chastain, I think,

is also in it and Charlie Hunnam. And I know

a lot of people aren't huge on Charlie Hunnam,

but I think the rest of that cast makes up for

it. And I love Del Toro. I love it when he gets

back to these really gritty stories that it's

going to have a lot of heart behind. it as well.

So, Curbsome Peak, I can't wait for it. I'm just

glad that you said his name before I had to try

to because for some reason I always butcher his

name. I get tongue tied in all kinds of this

actually. Sure. In the early, if we were going

with my first list of most anticipated film,

this would have been our 10th film that all three

of us had in common. But it just got bumped out

at the last minute when I changed a few films

So I was looking forward to this as well Which

is it the true bromance guys or the first -time

watchers that one of those groups do not like

Pacific Rim Every time it makes a bad comment

about it. I'm like, wait a second. Do these guys

not like Pacific Rim? Sorry, that's a side. Yeah,

but Dan I know you had this one high on your

list to what makes you looking forward to this

one Honestly, it's mostly del Toro and like JD

kind of explained it really well as not much

more I can add it so I did that he's getting

back into the realm of horror he's kind of like

Done a little bit here and there like last year.

He produced and did the first episode for this

the strain. Yeah Which was awful TV show It was

such a disappointment But I love that book in

the yet. It just I don't know. I just did not

translate Well, but I'm well the fact he's getting

back to it movie wise. Yeah And I know, like

you mentioned with Charlie Hunnam, I wasn't the

hugest fan of him in Pacific Rim, but I've been

catching up with Sons of Anarchy, and he's actually

really good in that, so it just could have been

the material. I think he's a better actor than

people are giving him credit for, so. Alright.

Hopefully he gets more of a chance in Prism Peaks.

Yeah, I think this is on, I know GD said you

haven't seen it on a lot of people's lists, but

it was almost on all three of our lists, so I

think there are a lot of people looking forward

to it. I think Del Toro has that. that type of

following that he does have a good following

for sure. Which is good because I wouldn't be

surprised if there's a cult that surrounds it.

It's possible. It's possible. Remember guys what

I preface this whole thing. Listen to their list.

Ignore most of my list. But my number five again

big setup for possible failure. But my number

five is Jupiter ascending only because it was.

Really on my list last year, I believe and then

it kept getting pushed but Yeah, I mean the Wachowski's

as far as direction I mean, obviously people

know them from the whole Matrix trilogy V for

vendetta cloud atlas from a few years ago Channing

Tatum Milo Kunis Eddie Redmayne and again Sean

Bean if anyone's involved in our fantasy film

league Maybe maybe write down Sean Bean's name

as a possible draft because he's shown up all

over the place regardless of if he dies or not

in each film Which we know he's going to let's

just be I know this has the chance that it could

be ridiculous, but I am a sucker like I said

not only for science fiction, but especially

like these space opera type films and I'll sign

up and put me in the seat. I'll watch Jupiter

sending and if it disappoints me so be it I will

say Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. I was. Yeah, I

had it. I have it like way like like the 80s,

I think, or something like that for my overall

list. But I don't know. I just they have to be

able to make a good movie again. Right. It's

just like it has to happen to making the matrix.

There has to be like they have to be able to

get to another great science fiction film. But

I'm holding out. I didn't mind V for that cloud

atlas. Well, they didn't directly be for ended.

I think the only. Oh, yeah, that's true. They're

just the producers on that. Yeah. I did like

I thought cloudless was an improvement. Yeah,

I don't know something about that Jupiter just

feel like it can be a huge mass or I think this

is one that especially like if you if you were

saying the cast name like if you had read the

cast two years ago, I Think most of us would

have been laughable. Yeah, it's like Jimmy Tatum

in mine Milo Kunis like Nobody knew who Eddie

Redmayne was right two or three years ago. Yeah,

now all of a sudden you see those names and it's

like I will say, you know, cause you were talking

about how this was supposed to come out last

August or something like that. And it got pushed

back. And, you know, in the spring last year,

they were showing trailers for this all over

the place and I was not sold on it. It looked

horrible to me. And then they decided to do some

edits or reshoots or whatever it was. And it

got pushed back. And then I saw they redid the

trailer. I don't know what a few months ago or

whatever and the new version of this trailer

looked much better to me And I remember sitting

in the theater going this looks different. It

feels a little bit different to me I don't know

what they did to it, but I'm actually kind of

excited now, so. Well, I think, too. Last year,

I mean, I had it on a list of things that I was

thinking about, things that I was anticipating,

but it was almost like it was just in a big group.

Like there was, you know, you had Jupiter ascending,

you had Divergent, obviously Hunger Games is

in a little different league, but it was coming

out. You had stuff like Maze Runner and The Giver.

I mean, you had just like a gluttony of of, you

know, these science fiction slash space slash

fantasy, you know, whether it be. looks like

it's somewhat geared towards a younger audience

at times. And I think it almost is better that

it's now being removed from all that. And hopefully

the time spent and the delays are worth it. But

I'm not going to say that I'm going to be surprised

if I'm disappointed with this. So it's just kind

of one that I'm going to take my chances, but

I'm not going to lie. I'm still somewhat looking

forward to it. All right. So all right, Dan,

what's your number five? Well, my next is actually

a remake but it's a remake of a documentary one

of my all -time favorite documentaries man on

wire Directed by Roberts and Mechis again starring

George and Gordon Levitt. I guess, you know,

he'd be another one to think of for that possible

League draft that we're having in the future,

but it is called the walk. Yeah for those that

don't know the movie Is kind of a retelling i

don't know if you would consider to remake since

it's telling the same story of the documentary

but it's about a high water high wire artist

philippe petite is his attempt to cross over

from one of the twin towers to the next and it's

a real -life encounter that happened in the 1970s

and now it's being made by into live -action

film and This one I feel like if you ask me which

one on my list could end up being absolutely

awful I do think this has the possibility of

it just because I don't know like the character

that Gordon leverage portraying I honestly boggles

my mind to see him try to do that type of thinking

of the documentary. So I don't know, I'll hold

off hope maybe he can do it. And Robert Zemeckis

was having, you know, his huge downward spiral

of a career when he got stuck in motion capture,

just doing that over and over again. But he,

you know, he came back a little bit with flight

and ended up getting Denzel. Washington, uh,

another Oscar nomination. So maybe this is kind

of another step on him to the back to the profits

of old. So mainly just, I really loved the documentary,

so I'm hoping it can do that. I actually had

this one ranked. on my list as well, just a little

bit further down. So I'm actually in agreement.

See, I am agreeing with everybody here. So I'm

also looking forward to the walk. Anything Robert

Zemeckis names behind these days, I'm at least

intrigued by it. I'm not necessarily sold, but

I'm at least intrigued. Yeah, this is at number

37 on my list. But I will agree with you, Dan,

that This project could be really fun and really

great because the documentary is incredibly fascinating.

The one thing that I'm curious about and not

just the director, but you were talking about

Joseph Gordon -Levitt. Like if you watch the

documentary, the guy that he is playing, he's

super talkative. He's very fast paced. He's got

a lot of energy to him. So, and Joseph Gordon

-Levitt and some of his roles, you know, I think

of like Inception. He's it's like he's not always

that way at all. Like he's going to have to put

a lot into this performance to make it believable

for those that have seen the documentary, I think.

Yeah, definitely. It is a type of character for

Felipe, who I think really works well in a documentary

because he's so eccentric. Yeah. Kind of hard.

Yeah. Like it's like he seems too big to be real.

When you try to put that person into a movie,

it could seem unauthentic and like it just, you

know, a little bit. Yeah. Corny so it's that's

a challenging. Yeah, I'm gonna take a documentary

try to do it live -action. They're doing it in

more of a dramatic sense. It's Just because it

works in real life doesn't necessarily mean.

Yeah I think that's the only reason why it kind

of fell a little bit further down I think I had

it ranked 29th was because of that Not not necessarily

not being sold on the content and the people

behind it or whatever But if they were gonna

be able to pull it off in a way that was gonna

make it You know good not just for a documentary,

but now for a film. I was I was worried. That's

why it fell a little bit on mine Yeah, if you

if you've seen some like there's like some photos

out for this. It's It looks like an interesting

film though. Either way. I'm I'm excited for

it All right, JD. We're back to you then for

your number four so 2014 was Maybe the best year

for animated film I've seen it in a really long

time because there was five films better than

the Lego movie Yeah, I mean, you know everyone's

complaining and talking a lot about it being

snubbed at the Oscars and you know I would probably

say it's top five but for me I'm not complaining

as much because it would be like fourth or fifth

on my list and I loved it Go listen to our podcast.

I raved about it all year I think it's an amazing

film. But for me, an animated film last year,

it was just incredible. It was such a special,

amazing year. And in a year without Pixar, which

is kind of hard to believe. So at my number four,

I am going with Pixar. They're finally coming

back and they're coming back with what looks

like a really unique movie in Inside Out. So

how was the first day of school? It was fine,

I guess. I don't know. Do you ever look at someone

and wonder what is going on inside their head?

Did you guys pick up on that? Sure did. Something's

wrong. We're gonna find out what's happening,

but we'll need support. Signal the husband. Oh,

she's looking at us. What did she say? What?

Oh, sorry, sir. No one was listening. Is it garbage

night? We left the toilet seat up. What? What

is it, woman? What? Signal him again. Ah, so,

Riley, how was school? For this, we gave up that

Brazilian helicopter pilot? School was great,

alright? What was that? I thought you said we

were gonna act casual. Riley, is everything okay?

Sir, she just rolled her eyes at us. Alright,

make a show of force. I don't want to have to

put the foot down. It looks so original in a

lot of ways. The concept is going to be way over

the kids' heads, but they've made the characters

very goofy and entertaining that I think will

keep the kids laughing throughout, but will entertain

the adults and the parents that are taking their

kids there in a fashion that is just really intriguing

to me. And I really love the cast here. I think

they got a really special cast. I really love

Especially the Louis black cast as anger. That

is just the perfect choice. Like no one else

could have played that I think they started there

and then they meet right Let's make those premise

off of loose black 2014 is gonna be a tough one

to compete against as far as animated films But

you would hope that the year that that Pixar

took You know without releasing a film is gonna

pay off here with this one. Otherwise, it's gonna

I agree Yeah, I mean, and this looks really great.

I love the trailer. It looks like a lot of fun,

but also a lot of high concepts that it's something

that I feel like a lot of us have thought about

at some point. But a lot of these things are

not going to be personified in front of us. And

that's going to be really interesting to see.

My biggest question for this one is, are they

going to be able to because it seems like it's

a film that just within its essence should be

something that appeals to both kids and adults.

It seems like it has a lot of potential there

to speak to all ages And I guess my only question

is are they going to be able to balance that

in a way that doesn't lose either? You know like

the young audience or the older audience My answer

to that is it's Pixar. They're amazing. I mean,

sure, they've kind of tailed off a little bit

of the last few years, but their track record,

I think, speaks for themselves. And they usually

come out with stuff that I think does both incredibly,

incredibly well. And this looks to be back on

track for them. They took Disney's biggest punch

last year, and now it's time for them to get

off the mat. I know they're the same company,

but still. It's also good sign that it is also

coming from the director of up. So that yeah

Yeah, also which is similar which it had in a

concept which you think would be far over the

heads of kids But ends up really working exactly

So I think that you know if for someone's gonna

make that concept work It would be and then you

had this one pretty high on your list as well

I had it on my list not as high as you two Because

I have a different animated film that might be

coming up in the future that everybody that knows

me should be able to predict but I have no problem

with Inside Out being listed. I think that's

got a lot of potential. My number four, I actually

had to go back after I got your guys's list.

I had to go back and make sure that this came

out and is coming out in 2015 because it's not

on either one of your lists. And I'm trying to

figure out why or if I'm just once again on an

island by myself. My number four is called Black

Mass directed by Scott Cooper. who most recently

did Out of the Furnace, starring Johnny Depp,

Kevin Bacon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Joel Edgerton,

Sienna Miller, and Dakota Johnson. That isn't

my top 100, but it didn't make me third. It was

close to making my top 50, too. I mean, I'm definitely

aware of the project. OK, good. Because I thought,

am I looking at one that's not coming out until

2016? Because originally, I did have one or two

films that I found out had been pushed to 2016.

And I'm like, Oh, I got to get those off my list.

But I know that cast is ridiculous, first of

all. And I really liked Scott Cooper with what

he did with Out of the Furnace. So I mean, did

that film have some issues? Yes, it did. But

it was still something that I got enjoyment out

of. And I think the whole idea behind this, the

plot of this crime drama is intriguing. And you

know, I don't even know who in the cast I should

be most looking forward to because that's a lot

of big names Hopefully they can all balance but

like you said we've seen that not work before

but this one's not directed by really Scott so

Yeah, I am correction. I actually do have this

at number 45 on my list. So I am looking forward

to it and Johnny Depp in a movie without makeup,

hopefully a nice supporting role could work We've

seen that not work before. That's true. But is

that the lead here? So maybe that'll help. That's

true. All right, Dan, what's your number four?

My number four is this is a movie. I feel like

I'm putting a lot of faith in mainly because

of the two actors that are starring in it. And

to my favorite actors going today, if they're

in a movie, I'm going to see it. And now they're

in a movie together. So that has me really excited.

Those two actors are Michael Fassbender, of course,

and Brendan Gleason. Who I? Felt gave one of

the best performance last year in Calvary. Yeah,

it's trespass against us and Is the one it's

directed by Adam Smith who is? Rather unproven

director at this point. He's really more work

primarily in television though I have heard from

dr Who fans that he has directed some of the

best dr Who episodes So maybe you know, maybe

he's a great director in the making The actual

the synopsis there's not much of a synopsis at

this point All this is about a man who looks

to find a way to escape the criminal ways of

his outlaw family So not a lot to go on there,

but I just think the potential of having Fassbender

and Brendan Gleeson going toe -to -toe and acting.

Yeah, just gonna be to be great you know there

are two types of actors who tend to own the screen

whenever they come on and seeing them have to

kind of own the screen together i just think

that'll be uh has me super excited so again not

a whole lot to go on but that to me just is a

potential for something i like to maybe just

throw it out there and you know it's kind of

like you know Playing lottery or something. I

might you know might get burned but I Actually

have this one ranked at 21, so I once again for

the record I'm in agreement with you very much

looking forward to this one. I really liked Gleason

and Calvary and Fassbenders obviously everybody's

one of everybody's favorite actors these days

So I think just the idea of those two going against

each other is intriguing So I will be in line

for that one as well opening weekend Assuming

that plays another one near me. Another one I'm

having to add to the list right now. I've never

even heard of it, but that sounds really fun.

JD, what do you have as your number three? Well,

Dan is going to come up with all these awesome

obscure picks that I've never heard of that I'm

going to be writing down. pay close attention

to. But my next one is one that I think a lot

of people are aware of. I'm going with David

O. Russell and Joy for my next film. I love Jennifer

Lawrence. And, you know, as I mentioned when

I was talking about Mockingjay, and if you read

the synopsis about this, it's kind of based on

the life of the who becomes really successful

and to picture Jennifer Lawrence in that kind

of a role, depending on how it's done. But when

I've envisioned that in my mind, it just sounds

awesome. It looks amazing. So, and I trust David

or Russell. I really love what he's done with

turning his career around back in 2010. I really

loved the fighter. I really love silver linings.

I liked American house a lot more than a lot

of other people did. I know that was a little

bit more divisive than the other two, but I love

that we have Jennifer Lawrence teaming up once

again with Bradley Cooper. That's really exciting.

They've been doing some really great work together,

I think. And then we got Robert DeNiro also joining

the team once again from after they did several

lining things together. So I really look forward

to this. I love what David Russell has done as

of late. He doesn't let me down. He always brings

some nice Humor that that I love I think he gets

some of the best humor out of Jennifer Lawrence

I love the emotion that I'm able to to get pulled

out of me and his films as well So I'm really

excited for this one. Joy would be what are we

on number three? Yep, and Dan that one's also

on your list pretty high as well. So obviously

you're in agreement with that Yeah, I mean I

I did enjoy American Hustle and Super Loanings

and the fighter too Tender in really I like David

Russell's films and maybe don't love them as

much as some people but like Janie mentioned

He's really great at getting great performances

out of actors and excited that he's working with

another familiar cast Yeah, I think when you

I think with David Russell, you're always I think

in You're you're you're Gonna have a good chance.

You're gonna watch a good movie. So I think yeah,

yeah, it's a safe silver linings was in my top

five American Hustle I think was in my top 15

and fighters in my top 10 so I mean I'm willing

to as well I think the only reason that I didn't

necessarily rank this one as high as I Probably

would eventually was just the limited amount

of information on odd about it I know David O

Russell and and you know that the actors that

you guys listed should probably be enough But

for some reason I was holding out just to see

something more about it. I want to know too much

I just want to know a little bit Um, I, I just,

I love that Jennifer Lawrence is obviously going

to be the center of attention. And I think her

and Russell's films is probably my favorite acting

she's ever done. I mean, she, she can do dramatic

in those roles. We've seen that, but she's also

hilarious in David or Russell's movies. I mean,

she's, she's never been more endearing than in

a David or Russell movie to me. And I think when

you add on the premise that's involved here,

I think they have a lot to work with. And that

gets me really excited. Yeah. I think those are

all valid points my number three again not necessarily

on your guys's list at least not in the top 30,

but it's something that Brought its way all the

way up to number three on our unique list and

that would be the upcoming drama film called

life About the friendship of life photographer

Dennis stock and Hollywood actor James Dean Again,

you say these names two years ago, and maybe

you don't get the same reaction starring Robert

Pattinson Dane DeHaan, Joel Edgerton, and of

course, Ben Kingsley. Write that name down for

the draft as well. But after seeing Robert Pattinson

last year in The Rover, obviously a new respect

for him. I am a huge James Dean fan, both of

his movies and just kind of the lore around him.

I actually have a picture of James Dean in my

living room over there. So this is just something

that I find intriguing. Anton Corbin. is the

director of this. He did A Most Wanted Man in

2014, which I think I didn't put it in my top

10, but I think kind of went under the radar

a little. And I think it was worth seeing. So

I liked his work with that one. And I'm looking

forward to the movie Life. Dan, I know you had

this rank just not quite as high as I did. Yeah,

I guess my like I only reason I didn't bring

it any higher is because like you mentioned with

Anton Corbin He's a type of director that I think

he really loves his soul plate and slow pace

Especially even in the American which was George

Clooney He just likes to take his time and I

think it works for movies like Almost Wanted

Man and the American which are kind of in that

spy genre, but with a more dramatic film I wonder

if it'll if that will work if it keeps that pace

it can maybe get a little bit too Mean over watch

with with with drama if he continues that but

uh, yeah, like I'm excited to see what they do

they do Han does as James Dean that has me Yeah,

and like you mentioned Robert Pattinson. I think

he's a lot of people think Twilight But like

you mentioned with the Rover and yeah, he's a

legit actor I'm really hoping this isn't a film

come the end of the year that we're saying You

know that had a lot of potential if it was handled

by a different director type thing But because

I think there is potential in the story there.

Yeah, I'm kind of intrigued by this. This is

one that didn't quite make my top 50. If I was

going to do like a top 75, this might have been

in there. But I agree with you. The cast looks

pretty interesting. I'm not a huge, huge fan

of Corbin's work. I mean, I really appreciated

a most wanted man. I thought it was a nice little

flick, but I'm not like super in love with his

films. Right. Alright, then that means it is

your turn for your number three film Well, my

last pick was like a director trying to prove

himself for the first time My next pick is one

as a director who's probably a lot of people

would go with with maybe one of the best directors

today Maybe some people some people may say he's

one of the worst directors today because he loves

Does like to make decisive films and that is

of course town's Terrence Malick in his latest

film night of cups, which is Possibly one of

the weirdest names ever our titles ever. But

uh, yeah I mean it has again a strong cast with

a Terrence Malick film. You never know If someone's

it's just because someone's cast doesn't mean

they're actually gonna play a big part in a movie

like with Sean Penn entry of life But uh, Terrence

Malick has a certain style to him that I know

a lot of people You know tend to not enjoy a

great deal something like tree of life. I remember

I saw that in theaters and I would say I could

75 of the audience was booing by the end so for

those that didn't walk out during it, but I really

liked real life and The first time I saw it was

you know, I think I didn't know what I was getting

into But the more I watched it the more I've

loved it. So definitely looking forward to it

Yeah, I'm right there with you, Dan. I really

like Terrence Malick too, and I really like Tree

of Life, and this is one that I'm definitely

intrigued for. I mean, this was sitting at number

23, I think, on my list, and for all the reasons

that you're talking about, I mean, you just,

you kind of maybe sort of have an idea of what

you're walking into, but you're not actually

going to be sure, and it's going to be one you

and I, I'm sure, will process and talk about

six months afterwards and still try to figure

out. So that's what makes them fun. Exactly.

I haven't loved everything Terrence Malick did.

I was not a big fan of To the Wonder. Yeah, me

either. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I thought that

was just, it felt like the, you know, little

unforgotten cousins of Tree of Life or something.

It just did not work for me. I agree. But I'm

curious to see what, you know, what he can do

next. And I think maybe To the Wonder was just

too soon of a film because he tends to take a

long time between movies. So maybe now he's taking

a year or two. It might be time for me to give

this guy another chance I I wanted to put this

on my list based on on the cast and the write

-up until I saw his name and then immediately

Kicked it off of my top 50 I think but That is

only because I've only seen one of his films.

So I really need to give him a better chance

And another chance. It's been a long time since

1998 and the thin red line. So maybe Maybe this

will get me back into his his good graces because

the thin red line is one of my least favorite

films of all time I love that film, too You and

I just get a lot great. Yeah, I don't know if

it like I said being Big into history, and I

think I just had the wrong expectations going

into that film. Probably. And I was not prepared

to see the two and a half hours of scenery that

I saw. So but that was a long time ago. And again,

I haven't seen that film for almost 16 years

or something. So I should maybe even rewatch

that film, because a lot of people like it. So

maybe I will give Night of Cups a chance if there

was ever a bet that. that somebody did to make

me watch a film that might be one of them that

they would have to choose. But again, a lot of

intriguing things about that film. So I'm not

going to rip on it when I haven't even seen anything

about it yet. All right. So that brings it back

to JD for his number two. Oh, man. I really decided

to talk about these next two and especially this

next one, because I'm pretty sure one of you

might feel a little bit differently than I do.

Uh, for those that listed to our incision film

award show or our top 10 show, you know that

I was a huge fan of Birdman. Absolutely loved

it. I think what Alejandro Gonzalez Inarrito

did with that was really special. And right now

he's shooting another film that sounds just as

special. And for my number two, I'm going with

the Revenant. And it's not only that it's Alejandro

Inarrito. It's not even And that he is also once

again, teaming up with Emmanuel Lubezki, his

cinematography or cinematographer from Birdman.

But when you add that and then you add a cast

of Tom Hardy, my boy, Tom Hardy and Leonardo

DiCaprio kind of going toe to toe. uh yeah that's

all you have to say and on top of that the story

sounds really intriguing about it's this thriller

set in the 1820s where i'm assuming leo is the

lead here he's uh basically mauled in the woods

his friends abandon him and he goes after for

Wrench and that sounds freaking awesome to me

and they're only shooting this film with natural

light So on the technical side, it sounds awesome.

The cast sounds awesome. The story sounds awesome

This whole project sounds freaking awesome. I

can not wait Yeah, and look that's in my list

too, it's not I think it's in my top 40 ish or

40 ish. I'm not Not sure. I did really like Birdran

as well My only issue is I haven't liked Eerie

2's other films all that much. I, you know, things

like Babble or 21 Grams, which were just like

Misery Fast upon Misery Fast. And which is kind

of why I like Birdman so much because it's like,

oh, this guy actually has a sense of humor. So

I'm just hoping that he can kind of keep with

that in some ways with with the Revenant. It

doesn't seem like it'll be a movie that's going

to be. All you know anything like babble or 21

gram so I am holding out hope and like you mentioned

the cast involved us Does have me intrigued anything

with you know, leo and tom hardy. That's a pretty

good combination for for the right hand Yeah

for the record. I do have this in my top 50 Okay,

so um, I am more like more likely to see this

than the knight of cups. Um, I am super intrigued.

Um by you know, leonardo and tom hardy Playing

off of each other. Um, I Don't want to sound

like this is gonna sound but I Do think it would

be it's gonna be an interesting achievement as

far as doing the whole thing with the natural

light And I think that'll be interesting Sure,

my fear is is that there are people out there

and I will try not to be one of them We'll we'll

see that Birdman done one year with one certain

Way of filming and then this one done the next

year with another unique way of filming that

people might take some exception to that. In

a way of saying, oh, this guy is just, you know,

trying to do, you know, I don't want to use the

word, Dan, but but one gimmick after the other.

And I'm hoping if it's a, you know, if it's a

good film that people aren't going to use that

against it. But I am intrigued to see how that

plays out and how that kind of turns out. My

my response to that would be that. film, I think,

and so many different ways is meant to be an

experience, whether that's an adventure or fun

or something emotional, but it's meant to be

an experience. And I think what Birdman did,

whether you liked it or not, I think the one

shot take and all that sort of stuff, it was

supposed to put you into this hysteria of this

backstage play and what was going on with the

characters there. And it gave you an experience.

Now, some people may not have liked that. I loved

it. And I think all that Alejandro Enrito is

doing here, and really what Emmanuel Lubezki

is doing, because even outside of him, but also

what he's done with Alfonso Cuarón as well, is

that he is giving you that experience in a really

interesting and unique way that I've loved. No

matter what director Lubezki has worked for,

I've loved what he's done from a visual style.

It only enhances that experience. Obviously with

films, it's more than just cinematography. There's

got to be a lot of other parts involved. But

usually with what he's doing, it just adds to

that for me. So that's how I would take it. And

that's how I would hope people would take it

is don't compare it to necessarily anything else.

Just enjoy the experience that they're trying

to give you. And I think this is the type of

a film and a setting and a storyline where it

makes sense to do what he's doing. And I think

it should add something to it. And I'm not opposed

to that I do think there are some people out

there doing certain things Just to get the attention

that they're doing those certain things Sure,

but I don't necessarily see that as the case

with with either Birdman or this And I think

this is the right type of setting to try that

I'm hoping it all works because I am gonna I'm

gonna You know sit down and pay money to watch

this. Yeah, and and hopefully hopefully enjoy

it. So And it's they're shooting this in Canada

right now and there's gonna be a lot of snow

on the ground So shooting a natural light with

the reflection off of the snow makes sense as

well So, I mean it I think it's gonna work. It

should work And it's I think natural lighting

is not necessarily something that's so all struck

or something that's going to be so noticeable

to most people, you know, because, you know,

it's not like it's revolutionary is nothing that

people have done before. Yeah. I think for the

thought that it is, it makes sense. There's probably

a lot of movies people watch that have rely on

natural lighting. They don't even realize it.

It just depends on what you're trying to do with

your cinematographer. So yeah. All right. That

is up to me then for my number two. Again, if

there is one on my list that I'm going to be

wrong about. Not that there hasn't been a couple

options there, but if there's one, it's probably

going to be this one. But I will watch this gentleman's

movies no matter what. And the director is Kevin

Reynolds. Ignore Waterworld, people. Ignore Waterworld.

He did the Count of Monte Cristo, which is one

of probably my top 10 films of all time. And

so ever since then, I have signed up. hook line

is thinker for whatever he does he's doing a

movie called Clavius I could be pronouncing that

wrong which is basically the resurrection story

from the Bible starring Tom Felton Josephine's

Peter Firth and I'm assuming eventually Jim Caviezel

just kidding, but I Don't know if it'll be on

the same type of you know when you do stories

based on Biblical goings -ons. You take a chance,

you know, you could have something on the level

of a Passion of the Christ or you could have

something that's as far from that as possible

and could be... Like Exodus? Yes. Or some other

films that have come out, you know, throughout

different, you know, left behind. No, that's

not really... But uh, so yeah, I mean I I'm taking

a big chance of even listing this here, but I

think Regardless of if you like Kevin Reynolds

work or not. He did Tristan and I sold kind of

Monte Cristo Robin Hood Prince of Thieves And

some other things that I won't mention because

it'll make him sound not as good But when you

combine him with a few of those people in the

story, I'm willing to give it a shot I know I

can get burned on this one, but Don't know. I

know I'm probably one of the only people that

will list this on their list But I don't even

know if it'll play in the theater near me, but

if it is I will at least give it a shot I'm I'm

really not one I was aware of so I'm pretty intrigued

by it just because you know the events that they're

wanting to depict is after his Body is missing

right like that's not something that even the

biblical text talks about a ton. So I'm really

intrigued to see what they're going to do for

a two hour length film and what they're going

to explore itself. I think raises interesting

questions. That's pretty intriguing. Yeah. So,

I mean, obviously they'll have to wait and see

more. I mean, this is one that you almost have

to see a trailer first, just to get the feel

and the tone of what they're doing. Because there

can always be a lot of different Emotions or

or kind of tonal settings that you put on these

types of films and it can kind of make or break

it So I will you know kind of reserve judgment

until I see more But just based on the depiction

or the events that there are depicting and some

of the people connected to it It was enough for

me to put it on the list Very cool. All right,

Dan second to last one here before we get into

our comment picks. What do you got? Yeah, what

my one comes from a director that I was not aware

of until last year when he came out with Blue

Ruin which I Really loved and ended up making

my top 10 of last year Jeremy so yeah, he was

coming out with a new movie this year I guess

in in relation to blue room. He this year's coming

out with green room and in his third film he's

getting some actually like true acting talent

to with Patrick Stewart and and telling Yelchin

joining and the the concept is A lot different

than the last movie, which was a very, you know,

crime thriller focusing on revenge. It's about

a young punk rock band that finds themselves

trapped in a secluded venue after stumbling upon

a horrific act of violence. So it's just I'm

interested about what that's going to be like.

And with Patrick Stewart attached, that has me.

Yeah. And so and like, I love Leroy and I love

what he did there. So after that, I'll see anything

he does until he disappoints me. So that's a

green room. And I'm not sure when it's coming

out, but hopefully. Hopefully soon. And JD, you

have that on your list as well. Yeah, this was

number 17 for me. And I agree with you, Dad.

You do a small little film called Blue Ruin,

and then your next project, you're able to get

Patrick Stewart. You must be doing something

right. But yeah, I mean, for all the reasons

that you said, it looks intriguing. The cast

looks great. And based off of what I saw in Blue

Ruin, yeah, I can't wait to see another film

from him. Looks looks pretty exciting to me All

right number one. Is that where we're at? We're

at our number one JD. What do you got? Yeah number

one is a director We've kind of already talked

about I cannot wait to see this my number one

I'm going with Brad Bird and Tomorrowland What

if there was a place? Nothing was impossible

This is a guy who did the Iron Giant, the Incredibles,

Ratatouille. And, you know, we already talked

about Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, which

is my favorite of the Mission Impossible movies.

And I just have no reason to doubt this guy at

all based on just the information we have. And

then they released that trailer and When I saw

the trailer, I had no idea what I was watching.

I didn't even know it was a Brad Bird movie to

begin with. I went into it blind and... It just

blew me away. I love the fantasy element and

how that intertwines with kind of this real world

setting that we see at the beginning just looks

amazing. And you add on top of that the cast

that he's having to work with and just kind of

this setting and the world that he's going to

thrust this into just looks amazing. And I don't

know anything about Tomorrowland. I don't know

anything about the script or where we're going.

I'm just excited based off of what I know. I

mean, you could just tell me Brad Bird's name

and be like, yeah, here's my money. I'll go see

it. But then you add in all these other things

I just talked about. And I'm super hyped for

this. In fact, I will probably I don't want anything

to be ruined. I don't need to see a second trailer.

I don't need to see a poster. All I need is the

release date to get here. I'll give you my money

as soon as I possibly can. And I'll sit in that

theater. I mean I'll pay for a ticket right now

if I could Is George not George Clooney is a

voiceover in the trailer just as effective as

Matthew McConaughey's last year in interstellar

as far as a trailer goes oh For me personally,

I mean, I I think it's more than just Clooney's

voice though I think I think his voice works

great, but I think it's the dialogue that he's

delivering on top of yeah The visual elements

that were given there all of that just in the

music I mean it just all comes together and works

great But yeah, I think Clooney's voice works

really great in that trailer It gave me that

same type of feel that we had when we just had

the straight, you know monologue from Matthew

McConaughey and interstellar before any hopes

were dashed or whatever But uh just kind of that

same epic feel to it and dan you had this one

high pretty high ranked on your list as well

Yeah, it's in like my top 15 or so and uh I've

heard it's like a really great visual storyteller

like he didn't say so much without without any

words being spoken and yeah him in a movie called

Tomorrowland and that potential I think it's

just he can use that talent a lot of great ways

So that has been really intrigued and George

Clooney attached also to he's he's got a great

movie mind as well So seeing those two work together

could hopefully use something great. I agree.

I can't wait. I'm super I'm super excited Alright,

so early on I had said that I was gonna save

it an animated movie for a bit later And I guess

since we're down to our number one spot. I've

ran out of slots to talk about it So I'll talk

about it here I would like to mention though

that my number one on my unique list is actually

number eight on my overall list So my top seven

are all the ones that we all three had in common

So I guess I don't differ very much this year

from from everybody. So my number eight overall

my number one on the unique list I'm going with

the Minions, because I'm a sucker. Finding a

master was easy keeping a master that's where

things got tricky Without a master they had no

purpose they became aimless and depressed If

this went on much longer, they would surely perish

then one minion stepped forward Kevin felt pride

he was going to be the one to find his tribe

the biggest baddest villain to serve Stuart felt

Hungry mostly he was going to be the one to eat

this banana and Bob Bob was frightened of the

journey ahead I'm still living off of the love

from the original Despicable Me Regardless of

how much money the second one made even though

it was inferior And this is already I think Danny's

you probably it's stated that this movie when

we talked about the The first news about this

or something. I think you had mentioned that

it's already making money. I think I gotta say

though I do even though I was a little disappointed

with the with the second despicable me I Absolutely

love the trailer for this And I love that. It's

like a prequel so to speak as they're going at

least from the trailer could be completely different

when we get to the movie, but of the minions

looking for Someone to lead them and how they're

going through time trying to find that person

before they eventually Wind up with grew I I

love the first movie so much. It's one of my

favorite animated films of the last what 10 15

years camera what year came out, but Animated

film that I love quoting and I don't usually

do that with any films So I am definitely gonna

be there opening weekend to see the minions even

if inside out possibly has more potential Here's

the thing I was gonna say here's my thing with

the minions is Okay, so earlier we were talking

about box office, right? And we I think we know

what the number one and number two spots were

gonna be I think when you toss up What the number

first what the number three spot could be it

could be mocking jay part two. It could be specter

Uh, maybe jurassic world I think minions has

a really really high chance of taking that third

spot. I mean this sneaky Despicable me too made

over a billion dollars a billion million dollars

and it was inferior as you were saying to the

first Despicable Me movie. These things just

are money machines and now they have their own

movie. For 52 weeks out of the year. Crazy. This

I think will outdo, I think it'll outdo Despicable

Me 2. I think it's going to make buttloads of

money. I think Inside Out will be a highly, you

know, highly better movie. I think it's going

to be better criticized, but this movie Minions

is going to... They're counting money right now

like it's gonna do its best a lego movie impersonation

Make a crap ton of money and we will not hear

about it ever after that Yeah, so crazy that

is my number one dan. What is yours? My number

one actually is my number overall. I guess number

two on my list and it comes from a director that

Last two years he had a movie in my top 10 and

last year was boyhood the year before that before

midnight. And next year or this year, he'd say

he is coming out with another film. That director,

of course, is Richard Linklater. And the movie

that he's coming out with is that's what I'm

talking about, which is, from what I hear, a

spiritual sequel. Yeah. To this. I forget the

name of the. These are confused from so that

has me super excited. I love it. We're drilling

player style. The last, you know, like I mentioned,

like everything you've been doing lately has

been hitting it out of the park, in my opinion.

So and just seeing him kind of going back and

doing a period piece again has me has me excited.

So I hope he kind of it's. like a lot of huge

amount of information on the plot quite yet and

You know the cast is, you know, relatively unknown

for the most part But uh just with Richard link

later attached It's it's really what's driving

me to put it up to sign for the record on the

idiot that doesn't have it on my list But that's

not saying I'm not looking forward to it. It's

say days and confused and I'm interested I haven't

been as big of a person on the Richard link later

Wagon I guess because I've missed a bunch of

his films But I'll try to rectify that and get

just as much excitement behind this as everybody

else does because JD you have this very high

on your list as well Yes, this is sitting at

number seven for me on my true list and for all

the reasons you're talking about Dan I mean,

I loved boyhood. It didn't quite make my top

10 of 2014, but it was very Very, very, very

close. And before Midnight was in my top five

of 2013. So, I mean, everything this guy does,

I love. I mean, the Before series, I think, is

my favorite trilogy of all time. It's incredible.

I love every second of it. And I love the realism

and how natural and authentic just his characters

are. I mean, just some of the best conversations

you'll ever see in experience in film. Just true

emotion. I love everything Linklater does. So,

and I love that this is kind of a pseudo sequel

to Dazed and confused and you know, even kind

of boyhood really because it from what I know

it it it picks up with the kid moving into his

college dorm room in the very first scene of

this movie, which is exactly where boy had left

off. So I'm excited to see what he does with

that. It's it's gonna be pretty awesome. I think

Alright, so that is the unique list that we each

had if you take out the ones that we all three

had in common I do want to say real quick There

was two films that we didn't talk about that

did appear in two of the three lists Just we

didn't have them ranked high enough to talk about

them I had Southpaw ranked at 30 and JD you had

it at 25th So we both had Southpaw on our list

So I do want to give that a mention and then

you guys each had the same number 30 furious

seven so All right. So those are a couple films

that at least appeared on multiple lists. For

the sake of time, since we are all film geeks

and we talk a lot when we start talking about

films, we're not going to give a huge amount

of information for our common films. We're going

to take a quick break when we'll be back and

we'll give you the quick rundown of the nine

films that all three of us are looking forward

to. Now, for a behind -the -scenes look at GeekCast

Radio Network's newest show, Talking in Circles!

So, Chuck, Greg, what are you guys thinking for

this week's show? Well, Dan, how about we just

talk about the things that we've read or watched

this week? We do reviews like that every week,

Chuck. How about a game, like Factor Fiction,

or The Power of Names? Those are great, and we're

always coming up with new ideas for games. And

how about some Top 5s? You know how I love my

Top 5s. What about tournament style brackets

or sequel reboot and destroy who will win in

a fight taking too far crazy, but true news or

yes It appears we have lots of things to work

on Listen to talking in circles taking timeless

topics in new directions every Tuesday on iTunes

or geek cast radio .com the geek cast radio network

Hey, Dan, who's the guy with the creepy voice?

Alright, thanks for sticking with us. And like

I said, now it's time for the nine films that

all three of us had in common that we're all

looking forward to for 2015. Most of these won't

need a lot said about them because everybody

knows about them, hopefully. And I'm gonna give

it in order. We just averaged out how we had

them all ranked to give us somewhat of an order.

So our number ninth pick that we all had in common

was the film Chappy. I brought you into this

world. A machine that can think and feel. That's

it. Come. Come. Come in, little buddy. That's

a watch. That's a watch. Watch! It's like a child.

It has to learn. Your name? Chappie. Chappie.

Anything you want to do in your life, you can

do. Write poetry, have original ideas. Wow. People

are always fearful of something they don't understand.

The problem with artificial intelligence is it's

way too unpredictable. GD or Dan, any comments

about Chappie? I just, you know, Neil Plomkamp

does robots well. So I'm interested in seeing

what he does with the movie centering on like,

you know, intelligent robot. I've actually tried

to not watch the trailer. I've been skipping

it. So I'm just kind of going in. That's impressive

because I think it's the most shown trailer in

the country right now. It doesn't matter what

film you go see. You see a trailer for Chappie.

Yeah. So I haven't seen this. I haven't seen

the second trailer. I've only seen the teaser

and I loved it. Absolutely loved it. In fact,

as soon as I got home from seeing it in the theaters,

as you were just talking about, I downloaded

the trailer music immediately. So I absolutely

love it. And I don't care how cheesy it looks.

I don't care if these themes have been tackled

before. I like Neil Blomkamp overall, even though

Elysium was a little bit of a disappointment

for me. I'm on board. I'm super excited for this

one as well. And I'd watch this type of film

no matter what, just because I like this genre.

And it was at number seven on my list. So I had

the highest amongst us, so hopefully it does

not disappoint. I also had our number eight film,

The Highest Among Us, and that would be Jurassic

World. Evacuate the island. She's a highly intelligent

animal. She'll kill anything that moves You guys

had this more towards your 25 26 range I have

it in my top 10 just because I'm a sucker And

maybe I was the right age when when the original

Jurassic Park came out to to really have that

nostalgic? Grasp firmly around me for that film

regardless of what happened after Jurassic Park

So hopefully they can recapture some of that

and not go the way that the house did Yeah, well

dressing park is in my all -time top five favorite

films. So it's I do have that nostalgia for it

I'm just you know, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm just a little Hesitant just because it's

every other movie that's come after Jurassic

Park has been you know a disappointment So yeah,

I I like what I've seen so far the idea of genetic

dinosaurs like enhanced dinosaurs does have me

You know wondering how that's gonna work, but

yeah, you know and Chris Pratt has me interested

to. Yeah, Chris Pratt's on fire right now. I

really like the director here, Colin Trevorrow.

He hasn't done a film on this level, though.

So that is a little bit concerning, although

the trailer, I think, is pretty intriguing. I'm

pretty excited for it, too. But like you guys

were saying, Jurassic Park 2 and 3, pretty much

a downer. Hopefully this gets us back on track.

And I'm excited to be back in this world. But

I guess we'll see. But I'm excited for it either

way. Alright number seven that we all had in

common. We actually all had this one pretty Similar

places and that would be the film silence Again

an example probably of just putting a director's

name next to a film and it was directing this

again Martin. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah That's

all I need to know So, yeah, I mean, yeah, silence

is our next one up. We all had it within, you

know, like the eight to 16 mark. I don't even

want to know anything about the film. Just tell

me where to sit. What day? And I'll show up and

then just put the film on. Where can I pay? The

only worry is that it will. Yeah. Yeah. My only

worry is that it might not come out this year

because it hasn't started filming yet. So that's

my only concern is that maybe this will be one

that we have on next year's list as well. Well,

then we'll have it on our most common list next

year as well. For next up, let's see, what are

we at? Number six here? Yes, number six. Again,

another example of put a director's name on something

and we will all just like sheep. Show up at the

theater, especially if you put this combination

of Spielberg and Tom Hanks together And that

would be the Cold War thriller. I believe the

title is gonna be st. James place, but I don't

know if that's been confirmed It hasn't it was

and then it wasn't so I think it's still gotcha

I actually had this number two on my list overall

Again, this is any time you put any type of historical

thing and then put Spielberg next to it and Tom

Hanks in there Full board ahead and ready for

that. So They should just leave it untitled untitled.

It doesn't mean it Yeah, just leave it as that

put Spielberg and Tom Hanks do a movie and They

would just be like in the winter is Steven Spielberg

and Tom Hanks did a movie Alright, so moving

on to our number fifth pick in common. Dan had

this one a little higher than the other two of

us and that would be Spectre. Dan, this is your

number one. That's my number one. I, you know,

I wasn't, I did not, I was not a born James Bond

fan. I kind of became a fan the first Bond film

I actually saw in theaters was Quantum of Solace

mostly because, you know, I loved Casino Royale.

It's all really surprised me and got me into

the franchise. And then when, uh, Skyfall came

out a few years ago and at the 50th anniversary

ended up going through all the Bond films and

been watching them So I've really grown into

a great Bond fan into a rather large Bond fan,

and I love skyfall I love Sam Mendes and what

he did with that franchise I think skyfall ranks

up near the top of all the franchise films that

in the series And seeing him coming back, he

is losing Roger Deakins as his D .P., but he's

getting the D .P. who did Interstellar. Let the

right one in and her. So though Deakins is leaving

excited about losing much. Yeah. And one of the

best things about Skyfall was a cinematography,

which is a weird thing to say about a James Bond

film. But it was. Yeah. But Sam Indy's is known

for, I think. Teaming up with great visuals of

it great Cinematographer, so I think he'll do

that also may have my my have my early pick for

villain of the year Yeah, yeah and bringing back

specter which is a classic bond, you know team

and has not been in a movie Official James Bond

film since I think Thunderball or I forget the

last one actually now I think it was times are

forever was last time any like a any member of

specter which in a film so it's a lot of people

been waiting for this to come and now JD I think

you guys are having a talk on this upon one of

your episodes as as far as the idea of Christoph

Waltz being A villain and being able to pull

it off. Yeah, and I'm full in agreement with

you I believe it was you on that thing that saying

that that's a perfect casting Yeah, I love that.

Yeah, we debated I can't remember exactly who

was guesting on that but I know Brendan would

and the guest on that show was fighting me on

that they thought But it was maybe too stereotypical

of a choice or, you know, maybe Kristoff Watts

should do something else. But I mean, when you're

talking about this kind of role and yeah, maybe

it fits into his mold, but he does this really

well. And I'm excited to see what he's able to

do with it. And I think we have the. And I think

it's going to fit this world amazingly well.

I'm hugely excited for it. To me, it's it's like

we've seen hints of what he could do with this

type of role, but he hasn't gotten this role

yet. Yeah, is how I can see like I see he has

all the makings to do this role, but he hasn't

had like a full -on to me character like What

he's probably gonna get with this that he can

just really take and and then kind of craft into

his own Hopefully a big villain. So I'm I think

that was also technically the first time I ever

was on your side in an argument between People

talking about movies it happens from time to

time So moving on to our number fourth in common

Dan and I had this slightly higher than you JD

But but we were all in agreement that we're looking

forward to Mad Max Fury Road My world is fire

and blood. Everything is dependent on oil. We

are killing for gasoline. The world is almost

out of water. Water. Now there's the water wars.

Here they come again. Everybody's gone out of

their mind. Dan? you had this number four i just

yeah hearing the project coming up was like i

don't know you know i don't know if this this

franchise kind of seems like it's kind of come

and gone But then I saw the trailer and like

I'm in so that's really all it's based upon I

was just like that trailers is one of the best

trailers I've seen and like I can't even yeah,

it's amazing five or six years It's just such

a you know, and again Tom Hardy is attached as

well and Charlie's there on so I'm hoping I'm

hoping that you know It can actually bring this

franchise back to what it once was it's gonna

give me a reason to rewatch all the other films

as well So I I had this ranked number three,

so I'm definitely looking forward to this a trailer.

Like I said It's a like or like you said, it's

a idea that originally might have not sounded

great But I think as soon as everybody saw that

trailer they were there signed up and paid for

their advance ticket Yeah, and George Miller

back to direct pretty exciting as well. Yeah

So especially coming off of Happy Feet 2. What

a juxtaposition that is, right? Well, the last

time we did a live action movie was Bay Piggins.

It's gonna be weird. Big transition back to this.

Hopefully there's no rust to shake off there.

Our number three, I guess we're all in agreement

on this one. We had this ranked respectively

fifth, third, and sixth if we're going me, Dan,

and JD around the table here. And that would

be our number three film in common, The Hateful

Eight. So I guess we're all happy that this actually

became a movie and wasn't abandoned as it was

once rumored to be I mean I can understand Quentin

Tarantino be a little bit upset about that, but

I'm glad he was able to just swallow his anger

Swallow his pride a little bit. Let's just make

this and make it awesome and I'm sorry who was

drunk. I think that's what he's doing. Yeah I

didn't even know that I'm even more excited.

Um, yeah, this has all the makings of another

great film and he's coming off of a couple real

real great ones in my opinion, so Enchanting

Tato with Tarantino. Yeah, I love that. Love

that combo So we're all signed up for the hateful

eight and that means there's only two spots left

for those that are I wonder what these are. You

might know what these are. We'll start with our

number two. I had a number four on my list. Dan,

you had a number eight on your list. JD, this

is the top of your list. Number two would be

Avengers Age of Ultron. This vulnerable world

needs something more powerful than any of us.

Everyone creates the thing they dread. Ultra

in the flesh. No matter who wins or loses, trouble

always comes around. You metal do something you

don't understand. We have no place in the world.

Yes, yeah, and that's all we need to say about

that So I mean if you're not going to see this

you are the only person on the planet because

it's gonna make over Six hundred million dollars.

So just domestically the question is it's gonna

make a million dollars Yeah The only question

is which movie will make more money this or our

number one in common? Which Dan had at number

six JD you had at number two and I of course

had at number one as I drink out Of a Star Wars

cup myself here right now as we're recording

this Star Wars The Force Awakens will be our

number one in common home I would be surprised

if Star Wars doesn't take home Just because I

think Star Wars has It just has more legs underneath

it. I mean Marvel has been great I love what

they've been doing, but it's still relatively

new when it comes to the film game I mean Star

Wars has been around a lot longer has more generations

attached to it And it's got both old and younger

generations. So I mean I'd be I'd be honestly

shocked if it doesn't take home the box office

unless for whatever reason I don't foresee this

happening unless the reviews come out and it's

not very good and people you know I could see

that I still think it's gonna make a ton of money

either way but as far as the number one and number

two goes that would be the only reason I would

see it changing but I'd be shocked if Star Wars

didn't take home. The box office award in 2015,

but Avengers are gonna be great. It's obviously

gonna make a lot of money, too It just it that

franchise just doesn't have as much legs to it.

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting I mean the last

Avengers made I think a 600 million domestically

the highest grossing in the Star Wars movie ever

has only made 400 Now obviously you have this

is that and count inflation though. No, that's

what I'm saying So I mean you can't factor that

into and the highest grossing whenever I believe

if I look right was the Phantom Menace and they

just needed they just needed beat that to kind

of wipe that right so i mean even if it's even

if it becomes the most it could be the the highest

gross in star wars film ever and still not beat

avengers possibly but that's the debate that

dan and i uh and matt are going to get even more

into when we talk about our box office predictions

obviously those are going to be the number one

and two it's just going to depend on who puts

which one where um and we've actually expanded

it last year we did our top 10 this year we're

going to because of some obvious ones at the

top we're going to actually expand it to the

top 15 since uh the top list is is pretty predictable

outside of what order they actually fall in.

So, in common we had Chappie, Jurassic World,

Silence, the Steven Spielberg Cold War thriller,

Spectre, Mad Max, The Hateful Eight, The Avengers,

and Star Wars The Force Awakens. Hopefully between

those and some of the other 30 films that we

mentioned you've added one or two to your list

like JD did during the record. Of films you want

to see in 2015. What is your overall just real

quick and closing? I'll start with you JD. What's

your overall look at 2015? Remember as we open

this was the year that everybody was freaking

out about there was so much coming out in 2015

the world was gonna explode Now that it's actually

here. What are your feelings as you look towards

2015? Yeah, I mean I just think this could be

an amazing year. You know, I know you and I have

argued back and forth on 2014, which was a year

that I loved. Absolutely loved 2014. It was very

consistent from the springtime all the way through.

to December for me anyway. And when I look at

2015 on paper, anyway, it looks to be the same

way. I mean, and we're getting films from directors

we haven't seen in the last couple of years,

which is exciting. You know, just in terms of

the big blockbusters, you know, you look at Star

Wars, you look at Avengers, who thought that

we would get those two movies in the exact same

year? It's gonna be crazy. And there's rumors

about maybe a possible DC film. might make an

appearance too, which would be even crazier.

But even outside of that, I think everything

from the blockbusters to these small indie films

that are being made, it just looks like it's

going to be one heck of a year. You know, my

only concern, because this is a big genre for

me, is the animated genre. Like I said, 2014

was a superb year outside of Pixar's film, Inside

Out. It's a little questionable to me. So we'll

see. We'll see how that goes. I just I love that

genre, but everything else looks amazing. I just

think this is going to be a hell of a year. Yeah,

I think so too. I think it has a lot of potential

and you know kind of like Dan and I said when

we were talking down our top 10 films of 2014,

it wasn't that I thought 2014 was a bad year.

I think it did have a consistently a lot of interesting

films, a lot of unique films. Somewhat buck the

trend of that the only thing Hollywood offers

is, you know, remakes and reboots and sequels

and stuff like that. There were so many unique

films to see in 2014. My only issue with 2014

comparatively to like 2012 and 2013 or some of

the previous years, I just didn't have that film

that just floored me. I had a whole bunch of

films that I liked and that entertained me, but

I didn't have that one that just knocked me down

and said, this is a... you know one of the best

films of the decade type thing where which i

got with like her 12 years of slave um and some

of the other things like Les Mis um and some

of those types of films so i still think it was

a good film overall and i think it's it'd be

interesting also as a contrasting year to 2015

which is chock full of franchise films of remakes

of reboots of sequels And it's kind of crazy

because 2014 you could argue is maybe the best

year for the superhero genre or even kind of

blockbusters we've seen. I mean, with cap two

and which a lot of people say are maybe they're

too favorable. And then you have Dawn of the

Planet of the Apes, which was very close to my

top 10. And I know that was the case for a lot

of people. So it just seemed like it was a really

great year. for those kinds of films and the

animated genre as I talked about it. And if you're

like me who liked Whiplash and Birdman, you did

get those art house indie films that did kind

of for you as well. So, I mean, I know not everyone's

going to feel the same way I did, but I think

in general, though, there was so much to appreciate

about last year and this year just looks even

better. Yeah, I agree. And what are your overall

thoughts on 2015? Yeah, I think, I mean, you

have a year that is going to have a film from

Tarantino, Richard Linklater. Spielberg, Gus

Van Sant, Terrence Malick, J .J. Abrams, Josh

Whedon. I mean, if you look at some of the big

directors of today. Yeah, they're like all coming

out with movies next year. So that has me intrigued

plus a lot of like young directors They're you

know, like we mentioned some directors that are

coming off of a really strong movie from last

year or two years ago I mean wouldn't be reason

I did a top 100 because I started putting it

together. I'm like, well, there's just a lot

Yeah, yeah, you know this diverse films that

are coming out and from I mean like I think Tom

Hardy himself has like seven movies coming out

this only only surpassed by Michael Fassbender

Yeah, exactly. I think Fassbender and Hemsworth

are having this competition to see who could

be in the most movies in one given year. Crazy.

But yeah, but in the end we all win because they're

all great actors. It could be. Yeah, I think

2015 has a lot of potential and a lot of people

are going to point to the blockbusters. But I

think, you know, for like a cinephile or art

house standpoint, there's actually maybe even

more to be excited about. Just, you know, a lot

of people that are coming out with movies. I

mean, even like John Hillcoats coming out with

the film this year and Warren Beatty is coming

back from doing the movie and he hasn't done

one since the 90s. So I think there's a lot of

intrigue coming in. Could be a very interesting

class for a best director next a year from now

in the Oscars. It could be an interesting group

of people if some of these films actually kind

of build, you know, follow through with their

potential. Um, and another group of films that

we haven't talked about, we won't have time to

go into here, but is the foreign language films.

Uh, there's several, I mean, I probably have

10 or so, uh, foreign language films I could

talk about that I'm really excited about as well.

So, I mean, you add in that group as well. And

on paper, just, it's going to be a great year,

hopefully. So yeah, um, definitely chime in,

go to the website, getcastradio .com and comment

on this episode post. Let us know. what film

you're most looking forward to whether it be

you know one of the more unique ones or whether

it's one of the more obvious or even give us

your top five or top ten of what you're looking

forward to let us know which ones we got right

and which ones you think we're crazy for looking

forward to But that's going to be it for today.
