I'm the man they sent to erase problems. And tonight's the cloak of yours a problem. God will touch our enemies. I'm out of just the range of meeting. How did how did he get the Harry Potter cloak? I know that's pretty. Yeah, it was. Look, it looks like over the top action. I've always liked Jim Cavizel. That's unexpected. He's playing a Liam Neeson like character on the hunt for revenge against a horrible corporate company.

14:28That's a lot like. Yeah, they call it brownstone. Did you see that brownstone? The big real estate company buying up people's land. Yeah. I like tapping into people's anger, but everything going on. Love that. We'll be talking about. We'll definitely be reviewing it. 100% 100% All right. I got a few more things here. Buy request another trailer. Let me I got to queue it up. When you see the live show, you get all the mistakes. All the in between. You can just watch the clips or you can watch the magic that happens. When we do the show live, let's talk about angel and the bad man. Another buy request trailer reaction. This is from angel studios. And let's see, I'm hoping it's a Western. I could do with a good Western.

15:30In fact, it's a remake of a Western. Well, Westerns are making a comeback. There's like at least two Westerns. I know they're coming out this month. I don't even know about it. Let's watch. Let's watch. Got a Western feel. I don't know. I have I haven't seen this trailer. I'll give it a like. I look, I'm going to give it a like right now. All right. You ready? Yes. Let's do it. Zachary Levi Tommy Lee Jones in theaters, October 9. Angel Studios. Let's see. There's a natural order in this world. See the reminder ever man. It's exactly what he deserves. Tommy. Hey, where am I? And who are you? I'm Penny. Penelope. You've been asleep for a week. You almost died. Suppose that makes you my lucky penny.

16:30Looking for something. A lot of fellas been through here. You're gonna have to be more specific. Oh yeah. This one has a bullet in my goal. I don't know what you're up to playing house with these good people. The best thing you can do is just ride off and sing it later. They will. The day they ever met you. Marshall, will you be joining us for church? Church. That's right. Almost coming. We tell us where our goal is. We can't allow family. Horse is born wild. You'd receive it in your nature. I am so sorry. We knew this day would come. We'll see you in a little bit. Penny, I'm going to the time to leave. Joe.

17:31Too fast. Well, there we go. Yeah, all right. The fact that you only saw Tommy Lee Jones for a second means he doesn't have that many lines in this movie. Yeah, I'm sure you won't. I'm sure you won't. But look, I like, I really think there's a return to Westerns. Specifically because people are kind of done with a lot of the modern, even the modern action movies with that sort of gun-fu, like John Wick is getting kind of tired. Just return to form. Just tell a decent Western film. entertain me. Well, let's have fun. Let's go. What do you think? Well, I think I'm. I wonder if it's because it's also cheap to make. You know, a lot of these Western towns are prebuilt. There's a couple in California you could actually shoot in. Yeah.

18:32And then I think there's something to be said also about this time in which the rule of law ruled everything, but no one enforced it except you. And so you know, there was law and order, but at the same time, you were there to protect yourself and stand up for yourself. And there's a whole movement of people wanting to reject kind of what's, you know, get away from cities, reject all the technology, get down to a more simple life, move to Montana. Yes. Have I looked at real estate in Montana? Yes. Yeah. I have. But there is kind of a rejection of modern life and getting back to like what's important? What's important? Land, home, people we love. And I think, you know, Westerns are kind of the comfort food of movies. And we're, I mean, I know of at least two other Westerns, one by a buddy of mine, Adam Rifkin, who I just was conversing with on X,

19:38said, Hey, let's get you on the show. Let's talk about it. There's a movie called The Fix Opening This Week. Is that a Western? No, no. Anyways, I'm just saying that genre is making a return because again, the comfort food of movies. Yeah. Well, if you go on filmthreat.com, I just reviewed a French Western. Kind of it's a French style. It takes place in the 1930s after World War One. But it's essentially it's a Western because the music is Western and it's got Western things bonded. And it features a time traveling soldier from World War One. Let's go to comments and then we'll go to news and then we have an interview with the with filmmakers behind the movie called The Influence. Click the hot dog for five greetings. Go in English. Well, the name wrong. I just ordered my MRA 4K case of Run, Lola Run and Warfare. Chris, how do you predict Godzilla's foe?

20:39Who do you? Yeah, who do you predict is Godzilla's foe? How did you predict? How did you predict? We will explain that today. Thanks, Kung Fu Hatok. I'm going to go. Gareth Ross for five. No one cosplay of the recent Star Trek Abomination at London Science Museum yesterday for the World Record Attempt. Go find it. I am now a record holder. Hey, hey, thanks. Congratulations from the UK. Five pounds. Proper money. Yes. And they just announced they want to break a Spider-Man record at some convention. At the New York Comic Con. They want to break a Spider-Man record there. Andy like stuff. Tenguels, Goldcoin, Bling. Thanks, Andy. Caviar ties for 27 months. I just finished a modern Western novel coming soon. Oh, sweet. Thanks for taking ties. A graphic for two in the name of all that is holy hashtag

21:42Contra Disney+. What are you trying to do? Sean Connery? What was that? Contra Disney Prussian. A graph up for two jewels. Silver star. So dirty doggy. Western is not for a modern audience. I'll watch it. Yeah. John Manelling, this is just Jesus Wic. You know what? I like that. Let's go Jesus Wic. There's a movie. There's a little indie movie. Probably a lot of people have forgotten. It came out like over 20 years ago. Called Ultra Christ. Ultra Christ is a comedy about Jesus Christ returns. He comes back but he's dressed like Jesus of old. How he's portrayed. And he becomes a superhero because he has superpowers. They're like, well, you should dress like a superhero. So he puts on a superhero costume and becomes ultra Christ. It's a comedy. I'm sure it's, you know, might not be for people who are

22:49who practice religion. Straight away. It's based on the apocrypha. Yeah, it might break some rules or some people. So hey, it's time we get into film threat news. All right. Are you ready? Yes. Here's some news that I think you will find surprising. And this explains everything. Lanterns Damon Lindelof docked at charges of racism. Wow. Now this is an older article from May of 2023. And these, this article has kind of resurfaced and made the rounds. And it's kind of like, you know, you meet someone that like they're very staunch about a specific social issue. And then you find out that maybe this person from their past has better done things that were

23:55others use this term. I never use it problematic. Well, check this out from variety. It says, Damon Lindelof shocked and appalled over lost racism. And toxic workplace allegations. Quote, I failed to provide safety and comfort. Alan, you've got notes for this story. Give it to me. All right. Well, lost showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Hughes face accusations of racism, toxicity and inappropriate behavior during the making of the ABC hit series. Detailed in Maureen Ryan's book, Burned Down. First, former cast and writers describe a hostile writers room where racist remarks were allegedly tolerated and characters of color were often treated as less important. Harold Perino, who played Michael Dawson said the show increasingly prioritized white characters, such as Jack Kate, Sawyer and Locke. He raised concerns about Michael receiving less meaningful storylines, including a script that barely addressed his missing son Walt. Perino said that he learned,

25:01he later learned that Michael would not return for season two and felt he had been fired for asking equal depth writers also recalled racist comments of involving Asian American staff members. In offensive remarks about characters of color Monica, a Wusubreen described the writer's room as an environment where racist jokes were followed by laughter and said the experience was so stressful that she sometimes had to leave the room. Lindelof acknowledged that he failed to provide a safe and supportive creative environment admitted that the show would place a disproportionate focus on his white characters. He said Perino was completely and totally right to raise his concerns and express deep and profound regret about the imbalance. He was also expressed regret over the allegations, calling comments highly insensitive, inappropriate and offensive, but said that he was unaware that employees were experiencing the writer's room that way. Well, what do you think about this Alan? I think it explains why

26:03Game and Lindelof leaned so heavily into dealing with race in both the Watchmen and Lanterns series. I mean, it would make sense that let's see, you know, writers of color. I hate even using that term. Who gives a shit, frankly, what someone is? Are you a good, you know, I would hire good writers, writers of merit, not writers of color, but in any case, it sounds like, you know, the Watchmen and the Lanterns series are kind of a knee jerk reaction to this very public. This is a three year old article, but it happened and he addressed it. And I think it explains why he's leaned so heavily into that. What are your thoughts, Alan? And if you, you know, experienced ever workplace races, I think I'm just as, I'm just as hard on everybody

27:09no matter who they are here at FilmThread, but other works. Yeah, have I ever been in an environment where I was with a group of people, a group of peers. And one night just decided that we were just going to bust each other's balls and then doing so induced laughter. And yes, did those conversations become racial in some areas, maybe misogynistic in others? And yet we just sat there and laughed and laughed and laughed and had a good time. And then walked away all being friends. Has that ever happened to me? Happened to me a whole lot growing up. Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, this is, this is what I'm feeling is that Lindelof, when these accusations came up, he got kind of schooled, you know, sent to the principal's office until he can't do this anymore. And what does he do? He, he, he goes to the other extreme to make up for it. And I think that's what we get with

28:10Watchman and lanterns that he has to make good. And so that's why he got an episode three that just addresses his old things. This is, this is Lindelof's make good. But, but of course, once you make good and once you've admitted that you've done something wrong, you will be in jail forever and you're constantly making good and no one will ever cut you a break unless you tell, just regular stories. So, which I say, what what people good writers are called working writers and bad writers are called writers of color. And the funny thing is good writers, they're plenty of minorities and people of color in the good writer category. And they're so good, hold on, they're so good, they don't have to acknowledge the color of their skin. Yeah, yeah, that's the that's to me the reality of the situation. I just think it explains a lot of behavior. There's a guilt in the back of his mind. There must be some guilt over his behavior. I mean, look, in mixed company, you, you, you bust people's balls

29:19and you make jokes. I say this mostly in a male environment, that's what men do. They kind of, you know, goof on each other and then you walk away friends and nobody cares. This was the writer's room for lost, which two lost credit had an extremely diverse. I mean, they had a whole side quest with the Korean couple subtitled on on network TV. Yeah. That was one of the best characters and sometimes entire episodes devoted to them. Right. That was great. I mean, I don't know why it was a lot of credit for what it did. Sure, was the focus on mostly, you know, Kate and Sawyer and all that. Like, yeah, sure, it was. But, you know, that was TV then. And it was a very sad side was a big part of the side was a big character. Okay, look, this is what my understanding of the Harold Parano Michael situation was.

30:19Problem was Walt. Walt grew up and couldn't be on the show anymore because of a teenager. And this, and five seasons, basically, were one year of this life. And so what's happening with Walt growing up to become a teenager within months? And so they had to get rid of Walt and sadly, they had to get rid of Michael because I think it would be a bad idea to to banish the father to this island while his son grows up somewhere else. Walt, Walt. Remember that? And then, you know, that kid grew up. It ended up being had a payoff at the end. Yeah. But he really grew up way too much between the pilot and the series order. They had to like write that all completely write him out of the show, basically. Yeah. And honestly, Jack Hayten Sawyer and even Locke were the more interesting characters. They were. They were without a lot more. Hey, let's talk this. Hollywood puts four tech

31:27moguls on trial in October movie pile up. This is a weird thing. You know, like Hollywood will do a certain kind of movie. And they do like two asteroid are about to hit the Earth movie. You know, or to, you know, there's like or two movies called Runner. Yeah, or good. Yeah. I'm going to review the Alan Richardson runner on Friday. But there are four movies all about tech moguls. And considering that a lot of Hollywood is funded by big tech, I find this kind of hard to believe. But this is weird for tech moguls are on trial. So to speak, not actual trial in these October movies, a couple two documentaries and two narrative features. Alan, what's in this story from the reporter? All right. Well, Hollywood is about to turn Silicon Valley into its favorite villain. This October four major films will tackle some of the tech world's most controversial, cartroversial billionaires and executives creating an unusual

32:28collision of Hollywood and Silicon Valley stories. And Sarkin's The Social Reckoning starts Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg serves as a sequel to the social network. Luca Gordino, his official movie stars Andrew Garfield as open AIC O'San Altman and dramatizes a chaotic five day period when Altman was fired than reinstated. Two lengthy documentaries are also joined the pile up. Alex Gibney's nearly four hour musk examines Elon Musk and Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's three hour. You can see everything follows. There are no founder Elizabeth Holmes for and after she begins her federal prison sentence. Netflix, the all truest will dramatize the collapse of FTX with the with Anthony Boyle playing Sam Bakeman freed. The common thread is pretty clear. Silicon Valley leaders are portrayed as powerful ego driven figures who claim to be changed the world while

33:29putting ambition power and grandeur ahead of ethics and safety. The stories essentially turn tech entrepreneurs into modern cautionary tales. The dramatic film also already faces some skepticism, social reckoning has been compared unfavorably with the beloved social media while artificial faces are rocky road to release after Amazon and GM dropped it and other studios passed before Neon acquired it. The documentaries have a much stronger start both musk and you can see everything currently have 100% positive on run tomatoes. Following festival screenings with critics praising Gibney's furious musk portrait and Fielder and Waller's clever a clever unpredictable Holmes documentary. Ultimately these films are seen as kind of a Hollywood counterattack to Silicon Valley spent years disrupting the entertainment business. The Hollywood is turning the camera around to making Silicon Valley itself the story. Well I'm really curious about all these. We saw the musk

34:33documentary we reacted to that trailer. That's the one I have the most problem with. Gibney did not talk to musk. He uses like an animated version of musk that speaks in his own quotes which is kind of weird. Out of the fight problems. Yeah so you know look funny thing is I think the documentaries nobody's gonna care documentaries don't really the highest grossing documentary of the last last few last got decades has been I'm not am I a racist that documentary did extremely well a couple years ago. So I don't know the one I'm interested in is the Elizabeth Holmes documentary but it's three hours it could be just weird and funny we saw that clip Alan what do you think of all this? What I think um yeah I think we pretty much said it all I the first thing that goes is Elizabeth

35:43home really a Silicon Valley mogul. She's well she was worth at one time a billion dollars. Yeah but she was a prison because the the machine she developed was all fake right all ended up being fake. She had good intentions going in the science it just the device didn't science. Yeah the dreams the science couldn't fulfill the dream that she had. She had a she had a really interesting dream that and she was good at selling the dream which was translated into raising money. She became very good at raising money and building this persona for herself kind of modeling yourself after Steve Jobs watch the Amanda Sartreid series of the dropout which is fantastic. Well this is what I'm thinking this is what I'm thinking is the conspiracy theorist in me is saying you know you talk let's say let's take the four here in terms of innovation there's this weird thing that I'm starting to see

36:43of where people who are innovators whether they can actually pull it off or not. I think they're the ones being attacked right now. I think Bosch is the the biggest example because you know it says ego powerful ego figures where ambition power and grand visions ahead of ethics and safety. If you like no one said that about Elon Musk until he revealed who he was supporting in the most recent election because this guy has done more for the environment than even any environmentalist has ever done for the environment. The guy has clearly his own idea of how the world should be and and he's using his he's using innovation and his wealth to create that world whether you like it or not at least for all these guys they just seems to be this attack on on innovation and I find that interesting and maybe that's something I'll think about later on down the road as these things play out

37:44but yeah to me these are the red flags are just coming up in society for me right now. I mean if anything would be really I love movies about making movies or I love movies about the industry you know like documentaries about filmmakers but Hollywood turning its camera around to the tech moguls is it's going to be fascinating the home's documentary I think is my favorite. Yeah but I think that has a lot to do with Elizabeth Holmes herself. Yeah you know who cares what she did it's this you know she well if you're an investor you can be human to me a normal human being. Hey let's talk Godzilla. I posted once the Godzilla minus zero trailer came out said I predicted this I predicted this way back years ago when I saw an interview with the director

38:49Q&A after screening at the it was at the Arrow Theatre in Santa Monica director Takashi Yamazaki you and I both met him at an awards event the movie Godzilla minus one went on to win an Oscar for best special effects which if you are a long time Godzilla fan like to home monster movies we're not exactly known for their effects they were known for a real person in a rubber suit playing a monster with cheap railroad smashing model towns. Yes yes which looks really fun but the fact that it won those awards was amazing well on the film threat you'll see on the film threat if you're a member of the film threat channel you'll know that we you know we post a lot of like Q&As and videos

39:51to events that you and I go to and I happen to be there and film this Q&A after let me let me actually we've got a couple clips to show. I want to share this. I'm still miss months ago. Years ago years ago I was there Alan let's see the director. Here is coming out Takashi Yamazaki it was like a hero's welcome people with nuts I saw this movie seven times in the theater logo We have joined the Translate Line Year. Who helped me with this project is terrible.

40:57Thank you for being here. He uses a translate. He's joining us last night. So I said you make cat already. So she is a sub-social, a potential on the outside. And I hate to read it hard here. But in Japan, there is a lake who has seen this film about 35 times. And that person talking from correct, she's known as Mrs. Spazilla or Lai Ziloh. Wife of Godzilla. What are you talking about, what are you talking about? So how does it feel? How does it feel in the way of the local success? We're not going to go through this whole interview.

42:01I have a specific clip I want to show. I just want to show you the context. I was three or four rows back at a decent seat. But this is when I realized what they were going to do with the sequel. So let me show the salient clip here. I've got the clip for this. Let's just watch this clip where he talks about the sequel. And this is my favorite high shoe. And this is as not even with my shoe. He was asked his favorite Kaiju outside of Godzilla.

43:07He had two words, King Gidora. That's when I knew that King Gidora is going to be in the sequel. I knew it. And when we saw the trailer for Godzilla minus zero, which unfortunately we can't really show the stream will get taken down. But I just want to touch on it. What I noticed and what separates this new wave of Toho movies. Starting with Godzilla minus one to zero is that they're very serious. It's lost what we're named Zapadys mellow dramas. You're adding the elements of Saturday. As there is more than only 3 places of the show. Now that I found what goes on in the first movie, why am I now really going to play the new main character in this trailer?

44:11the characters that never happened. So so many like first, right? You've got this version of Godzilla. You've got continuing characters from one Godzilla movie into the next. That really never happened. And then bring on King Gidora. I think a really hard character to pull off. Three headed lightning. I kind of knew when the first teaser came out. It was lightning kind of floating. But the trailer is phenomenal. I hope in future trailers, they show nothing. We've seen enough. Don't show us anything. We heard the sound of King Gidora kind of a version of it. We know who that Kaiju is. Don't show anything. Let me know when tickets are on sale. I've watched the trailer 20 times. You're carrying over characters. You've got even the young girl Akiko, right?

45:15With the parents caring about Akiko. I love that they built these heroes. And it's a period piece. It takes place only two years after the first movie. I'm all in on this. I can't wait for it. Alan, I haven't you haven't discussed this. Yeah, I'm in the trailer because I soon would be watching it on the you didn't watch the trailer. Look, I assume we're going to watch it here. So I would just react freshly to it. But I look, I remember when I saw Godzilla minus one. I was invited to an early screening. So I saw it long before you got to see it for the first time. And I remember it was in Burbank at the W. W. Studios. And I just remember the opening moments, the opening 10 minutes of the main character, the kamikaze pilot who wasn't very good at his job landing. And just that just the look of that and the plane flying in was like, this, this is the greatest movie ever.

46:18And we're just this kamikaze pilot landing. It looked beautiful. And then finally finished to it. Greatest movie I've seen all year at that point. Then I met you guys at AMC Burbank and said, I just saw Godzilla minus one and you're going to shit yourself. Well, let's let's look at the trailer this morning. The stream make it shut down. Oh, you don't have to do that. No, we're going to do it. All right. The stream make it shut down on the, we will re upload if that happens. We're going to have to cut this trailer out. But let's show it. Let's watch it. And we'll monitor what's going to happen. Alan, for you, let's watch this. I never really have a stream now. I'm going to have like a really cool something, a treat for everyone. Something that the director did that you got to say, okay.

48:07க countryside.. Kijimatsu Carla LAUGHTER I'm not a ghost. Oh my gosh. Christopher Nolan is a hack. I agree with you. Wow. The look, the feel of it, the drama. I mean, you just get it from the Dan Trailer. I don't know how excited I've been for a trailer since just seeing that. Yeah. Well, this will be a great movie. It's the high drama, the fact that we have our characters back and new characters coming

49:12in. The fact that it's more of an international story. I mean, this Takashi Yamazaki is a master. He is, if there's such a thing as the Chris Nolan of Japan, he's it. No, no, he's not just this. It's a catchy. Yeah, well, he's a hack. But compare it, comparatively, yeah, I know. I cannot wait to see this. Obviously, if you're watching this on the reupload or a clip, we can't watch the trailer so far. We're good. So far so good. I, it's unbelievable. I cannot wait. Literally on my top list with Dune Part Three is Godzilla minus zero. But I have a treat for you. The Godzilla minus zero director Takashi Yamazaki, a food commercial that he directed. This is a food commercial from Japan that he directed that I dug up that is so weird.

50:15Just like under two minutes, check this out. It's the weirdest, but he did a food commercial that is a Kaiju made of food. You need to see how creative this guy is. Okay, let's check this out. A little treat for you. The Kaiju is food last. Oh, my gosh. This is like a public service announcement about wasting food in Japan. So it created a monster called food loss. Food loss. All right, let's watch this. It's wasting food. No.

51:18It's wasting food. He's running because of waste. F sect H砊Tears Now let's watch what we've got to eat from a train nor too far. Let's say the Areра of the Leo Varys, and allow it to go off the train. All right, now let's just tellolds women, us how many things they got, sure. Well, that you wanted to try them and decide what new trips they would like to buy. I hope that's true. A little sits and A seasoning add with a little public service announcement about not wasting food. This is a wildly talented this director is. I mean I'm so blown away by him and I can't wait for it.

52:19So, so there you go. What do you what do you think about food loss? Yeah, I mean again, ways in which Japan does things better than America. I think a lot of it has to do with, you know, we don't have these DI and woke rules we have to follow. They just don't care. They just make it make it a commercial, make it a movie. Just telling a good story. Please don't send your minions in to tell us what we're doing wrong and you know that we don't you're not you're not counting enough white people in your care. I mean if he puts that kind of love and care and realism into a food commercial, what is he going to do with King Gidora and God's all minus zero. I cannot wait. I cannot wait. Let's go to comments from everyone here and I hope we're still live. Alan, if you would start from the top, I'll be right back. Start from the top and go down. I'll be right back. Okay. Top of glory ain't that help me out here, but we're going to start from the top.

53:19Instead coming for two, a good book, not so wild west, it wasn't so wild. Let's see. Here we go. Andrew Cramm, gifted five film, that's my worship. Thank you for your continual support. Really appreciated. SE Kaijoon, gifted one film that membership. Thank you for that. The original Amber zombie for 1999, Happy Wednesday, Chris and Alan.

Nick eats Oreos for 40 minus zero and Aramayama are releasing November 6th, my dunes day. Yeah. Is Ramayana going to be? Yeah, is it going to be less than three hours long or am I just going to be three hours? I can't wait. Let's go. The one eight rate. Let's go. When are the Godzilla minus one inspired film threat t-shirt? It's going to be available, Chris. There is a God's eight atomic Laurie. Can we get that going by request? She is nodding in agreement. We actually have a Godzilla inspired inspired shirt, but it's based on the old classic Godzilla logo. So we will do that for sure. Mean the rounded edge bubble eyed Godzilla. Yes. Hey, Andrew Cram.

55:21Andrew, for 10, I saw the preview last week for minus zero and watched the Akira re-releases or re-screening. It looks awesome. Yeah, I'll take over from here with a thank you, Andrew Cram. Andrew Punch samurai for 320 rupees, or whatever that is. Please watch Godzilla in 40x, everybody. Yes. You know what? I never saw Godzilla. I saw, you know, I never saw Godzilla minus one in 40x and I regret it. I regret it. I remember I saw Godzilla minus one in black and white with Mexican iron man. He saved me. Yeah. Yeah. We'll do some non-superlated comments and we have our special guests waiting for us in our digital green room. We'll get to you in just a few minutes. Yeah, we got two minutes.

56:21We got two minutes. They are perfectly on time. I know. Ben and Ryan being very patient. Thank you, gentlemen. We'll get to you in just a moment. It's a kid of laugh. Lindelof is featured in the doc called Showrunner. He's on the record saying, if I knew what I know now, I wouldn't show run lost. Makes sense. Absolutely. That's all cards on cues, by the way. Garth Knight returns. Alan now's your chance to dress Chris's regular colonization of you. Yeah. Why don't you address it, Alan? I know. Quite frankly, it happens so often I just let it pass. And you know, just like us good minorities, our small minorities. What are you talking about? I have no idea what he's referring to. He's brought us first in a square. I'm trying to when we play the gong, but people ask the chat is the one that asks. Okay. So breaking news, Polish Air Force develops new helicopter ejector scene. Oh, no.

57:25Thanks Bill. As he guide you, no George Soros. Well, yeah, they're a documentary. No one is stopping because George Soros runs Hollywood. Well, there you go. Yeah. Christopher my productions, Yamazaki deserves a heroes welcome. He's everything we preach, open source technology in the hands of filmmakers. You know how to do a lot with a little on a limited set. God bless him. Yes, amazing. He has a way like he's not shooting on the volume. But if you've seen the behind the scenes of Godzilla minus one, he'll build part of a set. So it's the set is real. They are on the bridge of a ship or a dock or whatever it is. The set is real, but parts are filled in with digital. It's really amazing. It's how they made it's how they made a fall to. Sorry.

58:25Dr. Deng for five. Sorry, I'm a bit late live. Oh, I'm a bit behind live, but Operation Narukami, Naru equals thunder. Kami equals God. I thought that was a bit of a fun tidbit. Oh, nice. Nice. And let's confirm we're still live. Folks, F's in the chat if we're still live. Give me an F. Give me an F. We got another comment here. Oh, Andy likes stuff channel Chris and Alan Allen Allen. Our legends. I would thank you, Andy. Appreciate it. I don't mind me saying so myself. Are we still live? Yes, we get a bunch of F's. Yes. And while you're lucky, you got to see the Godzilla minus zero trailer live. When we repost it, it will not be live. So there you go. Thank you. Hey, you know on this channel, you love to support indie filmmakers.

59:26We like to talk to them about their movies. And we have the filmmakers behind influence here on the show today. Let's talk to them about their movie, which I believe is out now. Let's go. Hey, Ben and Ryan, how you doing? Hey, what's going on? What's going on? Thank you, Dennis. Yeah, it's coming on the show. That's great. Of course. Your movie influence is it out? Is it out today? Do I get that fat? Yeah. Yes. We released digitally on Friday on Amazon Apple YouTube movies, Google Play, FanDango. Pretty much, you know, you can rent and purchase films. Cool. Well, look, I've got the trailer queued up. I want to show it to our audience so they can get some questions for you guys. Well, what is involved real specifically?

1:00:26What's involved in getting your movie on Amazon? How do you even make that happen? Get a distributor and cross your fingers and hope and pray. And one thing they don't tell you just because I've been through the process myself. I've had a movie, a couple movies released. You really have to have your deliverables together. I know it's a real like, you know, it's a sort of inside baseball kind of question, can you explain what your deliverables are? I just want to say that's definitely like we've been, I've had a lot of conversations about that because, you know, we grew up watching interviews with like Scorsese or Fincher, whoever or just or, you know, Copa and they just say, just grab a camera and go make your movie. And it's like, they don't tell you about, you know, insurance, they don't tell you about like getting the, oh, like, whatever, you know, all the stuff that we've had to do. Right. But, you know what I'm saying,

1:01:28because he had nothing to do with it. Yeah. Well then Ben tells you, he got the jello, they can move me, cut it together, go to some premieres and he's like, all right. Well, let me know when it's, I was on email chain in my defense. Yeah, it's a lot of on a lot of emails. But yeah, it's a lot of technical stuff. very long list that does include things like, you know, insurance and, you know, the specific technical deliverables in the format they want, they need control, like a QC check. All of this we did through our distributor, freestyle, digital media, so they just had this really long list of things to provide, you know, press stuff, and then all different types of ratios and formats for things like the server or trailer or, you know, still photos for press purposes.

1:02:29I know all about it. Multiple different synopsis of different word lengths, you know, there's your legal deliverables and then your creative asset deliverables, but, yeah, but tell us about the movie and how you guys got together. What's influence about, we'll show a trailer in a moment. Cool. Yeah, I mean, me and Ben have been kind of like, you know, we were kind of banging around, Hollywood for a long time, you know, trying to do, we did a bunch of sketches and we did, you know, we've done some short films and, you know, we had this film that we really wanted to do, that I wrote called Echo, which was about two kind of gangsters who took who was supposed to go on their first hit and they accidentally take a bunch of asset. So it was like this kind of like weird horror movie and we were kind of like, got a lot of people interested in it. We always kind of like kept on against that, like, catch 22 of you don't get money unless you get a star, you don't get a star, unless you get money. And so we all just, I mean, we had this thing of like, we found

1:03:32the perfect person who seemed interested and then their agent kind of like kind of cut it off because whatever we didn't have our stuff together and they just like, it was so frustrating and, you know, a friend of ours said, well, he only said no once and, you know, we like, I was like, that's true. And, you know, we decided I'm going to go back and talk to him again. And he said, well, how are you going to do it this time? And I said, I'm going to bring a gun. And nothing came with that. But we ended up saying, we didn't go that route. But I thought it was a very funny kind of proposition to like bring a gun to an actor and tell them like, do you roll kind of king of comedy at, kind of king of comedy, yes, kind of thing. And then we just kind of like, you know, I just wrote it and, and better than I would like workshop it and kind of get it to a place where we really thought it was like, maintain the same kind of like, stream of consciousness and the, you know, the, the, the, the K, the K.R.s, but also like all the kind of beats that you need for, you know, scripts to work. And then we just kind of like set about

1:04:35kind of putting it together. Yeah, and I'll just say we, sorry, go ahead, please. No, guys, in terms of the script, like, I'd read many of Ryan scripts. And this one was the most shoot ready that I had seen yet, like what you see on screen and the trailer that you're about to see, it's the first draft, you know, there were some slight changes and then things happened in editing a bit. For the most part, it was like, this inspiration came and, and then we just hang all the way through. Let's check out the trailer and then we'll go to comments and questions from our audience. I mean, yeah, thanks, Alan. I was going to move everyone over there. Okay, I got it cute up. Let's go. Influence. First time I saw your eyes, I was like, who is this person? You're in this mile, like you were trying so hard.

1:05:35You look like you've seen something really bad and you have spent your whole life trying to forget it. You wrote it for me? If you want something, you have to go after it. Go after it no matter what. I try and try and try and I feel invisible. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. It's the last chance you have. I like the bag on, please.

1:06:35What was it for? I want to be listened to. Somebody was able to find out where I lived. Are you a soccer? I'm a writer. Indirector. You think I'm crazy? Well, not. I'm just acting as a collective. I'm conscious and universal distress. You can't force people into doing things together. You go. What's it to me? I can't. I feel like for screenwriters, this is very relatable. This is how you get your script read. It's come from some like, it's got to come from a real place. The worst thing to be like a director is one thing.

1:07:36A screenwriter, they don't get the respect they deserve. It's a brutal life. It's like also, when you're a screenwriter, the thing about it is that it's so attached to the thing you're doing. I think a lot of people that are working in this industry can probably be late. The rejection of the work feels like a rejection of yourself in a lot of ways. It's like, yes, obviously, screenwriters, one of the least respected top of the line above the line kind of jobs. It's like, yes, it's tough. And it's kind of the most important part of a film, you know, a good script. But I also, yeah, but I also like get PTSD. It's very funny. Like screenwriters also love it because in agents, particularly we've got 20 feedback because like there's a part of this trailer and it's in the script where like you see that that script that she wrote that she trying to get her to do is like 220 pages.

1:08:40And everybody is everybody starts sweating when they start seeing that. We've got to let you know though. Yeah, the review, our review of Influentious came out and you guys got nine and a half out of 10. You have a half a point short of a perfect movie. So maybe maybe next time to be fair, the review was written by a writer. So there you go. That's great. I didn't know that. That's cool. We've got a lot of comments from people watching over 1500 people watching live. Let's go to our comments. I'll start with the top Ellen. Let's go a lot of comments in here. Mix with questions. Okay. The original. Okay, I agree. I mean, we already been there. We already did that. I mean, we'll see. I mean, already did. So wherever you were said that, you know, God. Yeah.

1:09:40Yeah, it's a lot of what's up by saying. All you way to cue someone else of being ego driven are regarding the interview. Where is it Damon Lindelof. Uh. Uh, uh, Oh, there. A kind word. And I got. It works. Famous Al Capone. Al Capone quote. Yeah. Christopher and my productions. This movie looks like my DMs. Oh yeah, Christopher. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of DMs moments in this in this in this thing. Like it's, you know, we don't want to spend too much time on the Instagram situation that always just feels very unsinematic, but there is like the social media element of like kind of how you get ahead in this business, is definitely a part of this story. And feeling like connected to this, because you're following my Instagram or something. Yeah. Okay, Dahlia you're too spooky for me. We should get a chance. You're gonna get a chance because there's a lot of tension release in there that you'll dig. Okay, Ola Lee, you agree? Yeah, as a writer, I can relate. You're tapping into the writers and you're here.

1:10:40Yeah, I caveat ties. Am I a psycho that it is relatable? Everyone of our friends in the industry was like, this is a little too real, you know? Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So a little, so I'm sorry, I don't have finances. Oh, yeah, Ola Lee, this definitely looks like there's some very personal stuff coming here. Was there some ways, was it a deliberate catharsis for filming in some ways? Well, it's like catharsis is a funny way to describe it, but like there's definitely catharsis in writing it and catharsis in making it, but there's not a lot of catharsis in watching it. It's like, you know, when you access, it's kind of like going back to a, you know, when you have like an X-girl from the trip closure with, and then like you keep seeing her over and over again. You know what I mean? Where it's like, it's kind of like a little bit of vibe where like a lot of times watching it has made me very uneasy since we finished it. So. Reopens, old wounds. Reopens, old wounds for sure. Okay, here's the question. It's okay to laugh. Can you touch on the funding process?

1:11:43Yeah, I mean, on Fort, I mean, in a weird way, it was like, that was kind of the easiest way. We had some family friends that were interested in kind of getting involved in it. You know, it wasn't, it was a very low budget film. So we didn't need a ton of money for it. And we got some family friends and, you know, some of Ben's family friends, some of my family friends, and they agreed, people just kind of chipped in. I don't want to give a shout out to Ted Sonella, who was like our main benefactor. He's a New York, a New York real estate guy that's like very passionate about films. And, you know, so he, then we've known him for years. And we always talk about films, but I didn't know he was like in a position of finance of film, but when this came up, you know, just out of conversation, he thought, he thought it'd be interesting. So yeah, I mean, that was kind of like, in a way that the easiest part of this. It was basically, we built the sales deck, reached out to as many people as we do, and then asked them to reach out to as many people

1:12:43and got kind of lucky with like a decent enough portion of it to then be able to go to more people and say, hey, we're, you know, a third of the way there. And, you know, it was a little easier. But. All right, Bush and Rio Cat, there we ask who inspired the character's story. Yeah, I think we went over this. I'd said this, but this was definitely like a, kind of like funny, like joking, not joking plan that me and Ben had hashed or we thought like, we had an actor that we really loved for another film. And the agent was just like kind of blocking things and we were like, we gotta get it done. And yeah, when you're joking about something, you go to the most extreme scenario. And so I think it was like, all right, well, what if as a joke, we wrote that scenario? Mm hmm. All right, wolves, it's a, it's a very, who are your Mount Rushmore directors? Oh, damn, okay, all right, I like this.

1:13:46Kubrick, Squarespacey, Goodar. I really like Sejun Suzuki. I really love him. I gotta say Spike Lee because I will say, I mean, I love Spike Lee's. Kirkland was the thing that got me into maybe phone love with movies and music at the same time. When I had, there's a moment in Kirkland where they do a Neil job with Hey Joe and Jimmy Hendrix. And I think that was like the whole, that was the first time my whole world kind of clicked in and I fell in love with like both music because I love that film of Jimmy Hendrix and films and like what, how that feeling can make you, what that can, what the combination of motion, picture and music can do to you. This includes about the onion, but to switch it up, I'll add in the column brothers, Cimile J.

1:14:48I'll just add those two for now. Yeah, Cohen's definitely, I'm sorry, I can't believe I missed the Cohen's and that trailer actually was inspired by the serious man trail. I don't know if anybody's seen that one, but like the rhythmic element of it is something that we'd like kind of borrowed from the serious man trailer, which is one of my favorite trailers all the time and that might be my favorite Cohen brothers movie. Around that, PTA and David Lane as well. Raise the rod, will you dabble into more horror in the future in the horror drama? Yeah, I mean, I definitely want to make that movie, the head man on acid movie, because that was a really fun movie to write and it was like had that stream of conscious feeling and it was definitely like, like I love the shining is kind of the pivotal horror movie for me because it's so moody and everything and comes out of like it, it discuses all the kind of traditional jump scare ideas, but like it just, it haunts you. And it's like one of those movies that kind of like sticks with you long after you watch it like for years,

1:15:50it'll just like, it will scare me. And just like kind of get an uneasy feeling, but like a warm uneasy feeling, think it about it. And I was trying to do that with this script, so I definitely want to do like psychological horror for sure. All right, but sure you can, this film can touch the right nerves, makes you think no dimensional time travel needed. But it doesn't hurt. Last question here, this will be an easy one to answer. Yeah, where can we watch it again from caveat ties? Yeah, Ben, take this, do you, do you? Amazon, that seems to be like the platform that most people have, but Amazon, Apple TV, a Fandango, Google Play, YouTube movies. So yeah, pretty much everything. You know, Renter Purgis. Also, influence. Yeah, feel free to follow the films in Instagram. It's at influence.film. And please, if you, and if you watch on either on any platform,

1:16:53please leave a review so we can get some more, it gets more visible. And I mean, we're all basically, we just want to kind of promote indie films. And so, you know, getting an eyeball on it allows us to make, to make more of these and work with more filmmakers. So yeah, I feel like a good review. We appreciate it. And thank you guys for the review. I'm excited to check it out. I haven't seen it yet. So yeah, yeah, yeah. And by the way, rating that high is, means it's pretty likely you're going to get nominated for award this. You know about our awards event? No, I've never, I didn't read about it yet. I didn't know more about it. So we do this awards event every year. We take all the movies in different genre categories, thriller, horror, romance, drama.
