On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Saturday July 30th 2016) John is joined by Collider Video's own Wendy Lee and together they talk about the following:1) Sausage Party thoughts2) Spoiler news about Suicide Squad3) The following questions from the listeners:Patrick Sowemimo writes: I am a big fan of your reviews and always value your opinion before seeing a movie. My question for you is the concern I have for the Flash and Arrow tv series. Both shows are great but a major concern I have is that the heroes always question every decision they make and it really gets on my nerves. when it was introduced I liked it because it kind of made them relatable but as I kept watching it showed a lack of character development because if a hero questions every decision why did they become heroes in the first place. Brian Knight writes: After all the great trailers and teasers from Comic Con, both DC and Marvel, and the poor showing at Star War's Celebration does Disney and Lucas Films need to put out a trailer for Rogue One soon? I think Rogue One anticipation got buried after all the news from Comic Con this year.josh tedeschi writes: After Brie Larson was announced/confirmed as Captain Marvel at Comic Con, almost immediately I was seeing people offering up suggestions for who is going to direct and write this movie. The majority of the suggestions I saw were for female writers and directors. I guess my question is, does the director of Captain Marvel(And other big blockbuster female lead movies) need to be helmed by a female director? Personally I don't think it HAS to be, it just needs to go to whoever at the time is the right director for this sort of project.Justin Fawcett writes: Just wondering if you've noticed the lack of Mel Gibson in the poster and trailer for Hacksaw Ridge. On one hand I can understand it, maybe even Mel agreed to keep his name off of the marketing...keep the initial focus being on the film itself. On the other hand, I'm very angry about this...I think this is BS and they should've put his name front and center. Curious on what your thoughts are, you do work for Lionsgate so I understand if you'd rather not get into specifics. But I believe you're rooting for Mel as I am, we love our comeback stories! Braveheart was a coming of age movie for me..it always will be, nothing can replace it.
