You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it). Opening Banter: Brad, Ben and Chris are at Sundance, and news has slowed down. On The Site: Jack Giroux’s Interview with ‘Destroyer’ Director Karyn Kusama on Showing a New Side of Los Angeles and Nicole Kidman Rob Hunter’s The Best Movies Set in Boys Schools That You’ve Never Seen Britt Hayes’ Hidden Streams: A Crazy Slasher Movie, Underrated Martin Scorsese, and One of the Best Film Noirs Ever Made In The Mail Bag: Teal from Irvine, CA writes in to say that “A few weeks ago one of you mentioned a card game about pitching movie ideas to studio execs, and other players could stop mid-pitch and throw in a curve ball. I feel like this may have been what happened with Serenity. It started off as a pitch for a traditional pulpy thriller, and mid-way was promoted to include the whole [removed for spoilers], and instead of being treated as a joke everyone took it seriously.” Elissa F writes in to respond to Peter’s Best Picture comment about producers receiving the award instead of the director: “Huge fan of the podcast! Wanted to speak to something that was mentioned a few days ago when the Academy Award nominations were announced and many of you were wondering why producers and not directors were given the award for best picture.   I think it is a common misconception that producers are only dealing with the financial aspects of a film when in many cases, producers can be a large part, if not the largest part of the creative process behind a film. Many times producers work on projects for years before a director comes on board. And once a director is in place, the producer still has a lot of say and control over how a film is made.   Of course there are times when a director is the true visionary of the film and had developed the project initially. But in most of those cases you will find that the director is often also a producer. In any event, before a film is made, if there is even a minute chance that there may be awards consideration for a project, the credits are very heavily negotiated so that there are no disputes as to who should receive the award.    I know this process well so wanted to give you my two cents! Love the show!! I listen every day!” In The News: Jacob: Spider-Man Spin-Off ‘Morbius’ Adds Former ‘Doctor Who’ Star Matt Smith HT: Ron Howard’s Next Movie ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ Gets Picked Up By Netflix in $45 Million Deal Jacob: Only Two Oscar-Nominated Songs Will Be Performed at This Year’s Academy Awards HT: ‘Wonder Woman 3’ Could End a Trilogy for Director Patty Jenkins Jacob: ‘Resident Evil’ TV Series in the Works at Netflix – Will It Actually Feel Like the Games This Time?

On the January 21, 2019 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor in chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film managing editor Jacob Hall, weekend editor Brad Oman, senior writer Ben Pearson, and writers Hoai-Tran Bui and Chris Evangelista to talk about what they’ve been up to at the Water Cooler. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it). Opening Banter: This is an exciting week at /Film HQ because three of our writers are getting ready to go to Park City Utah for Sundance. Guys, are you prepared? At The Water Cooler: What we’ve been Doing:Peter took an Improv comedy introductory class to help learn how to be more in the moment in his magic. It’s been raining a lot in Los Angeles, so last week Peter didn’t go out much. He did go to the Magic Castle and had a really good conversation with some of the magicians there about his current path in magic. Brad attended a Mormon wedding in Utah for his girlfriend’s sister and had to do so many errands and decorating, and even got a pedicure for the first time. HT went to the preview for the Battle Angel: Alita - Passport to Iron City immersive event. Ben went to An Evening with Ludwig Goransson What we’ve been Reading:Chris read Flying with Confidence: The proven programme to fix your flying fears. It didn’t help. He also read Flying without Fear: Effective Strategies to Get You Where You Need to Go, which was a little better, but not by much. Jacob finished the first three hardcover volumes of Battle Angel Alita. Ben read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. What we’ve been Watching:Peter watched the first episode of Titan Games thanks to Jacob’s recommendation. He watched the Fyre Fraud documentary on Hulu, and the Fyre documentary on Netflix. (Chris and HT watched both, Jacob watched the Hulu one) Brad watched Tully and The Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much. Jacob watched Gaspar Noe’s Climax, Fyre Fraud, True Detective season 3, Practical Magic, Halloween, and started his annual Game of Thrones rewatch. Ben watched Police Story 2, the first episode of Escape at Dannemora, Bad Times at the El Royale, Hotel Artemis, The Philadelphia Story, and The Women Chris watched Fyre Fraud and Fyre, along with The Standoff at Sparrow Creek. HT saw If Beale Street Could Talk, The Commuter, Fyre Fraud and Fyre, caught up with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. What we’ve been Eating:Peter ordered new jeans that are 6 inches smaller, and they fit! He also started taking less heartburn medication because apparently he’s healthier now. New Keto or low sugar food discoveries include ChocZero squares, ChocZero Peppermint Bark. and ChocoRite Chocolate Crispy Caramel (which tastes like an 100 grand candy bar). Jacob wants to thank SlimFast’s Keto peanut butter cups for existing and loves Swerve cake mix. Brad tried Mountain Dew Amp Game Fuel and The Most Stuf Oreos. What we’ve been Playing:Jacob finished his first batch of Warhammer 40K figures, assembled and primed a whole lot more, and practiced his painting on some metallic Reaper figures.   Other articles mentioned: ‘Fyre’ and ‘Fyre Fraud’: Which One is Better?
