There was originally a plan to bring the much-loved Christmas book The Polar Express to the big screen in live action, with Rob Reiner potentially directing. But eventually, the project ended up with Robert Zemeckis. Looking for something between live action and animation, a different kind of technology was to be used for the film - but would audiences respond to it? Especially when they tried to look the characters in the eye... The second part of this episode is a return to the podcast for writer/producer/director James L Brooks, chatting about his new film, Ella McCay.

Horror films have been a consistent draw for movie theaters, even in a post-pandemic, streaming world. And one of the most well-known production studios in horror is Blumhouse. The production house came on the scene in 2009 with Paranormal Activity, a low-budget found-footage film that became a smash hit spawning a franchise. Blumhouse would repeat this formula with The Purge and Insidious franchise. Now, Blumhouse is known for its more crowd pleasing scary movies like M3GAN and Five Nights at Freddy’s (with the highly anticipated sequel releasing this week), but the studio has also taken risks on up and coming directors like Jordan Peele and Damien Chazelle. So, how does a horror production house continue to survive and turn a profit in today’s film industry? And why does horror seem to be a safe bet for box office returns. Joining us to discuss the current horror movie landscape is Abhijay Prakash, president of Blumhouse. You can read all about Blumhouse’s rise in their new book Horror’s New Wave: 15 Years of Blumhouse.

As we brace for a wintery weekend, Andy Farnsworth and Rachel Wagner, Hosts of the KSL Movie Show, join Greg to showcase what's hot at the theatre right now! They review Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 and tackle the big question: What movie shocked you most with its box office success?

Send us a textWelcome back to DMRThe newest installment in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, breaks new ground by placing a Predator, or Yautja, as its central protagonist. The story follows Dek, a young, outcast Yautja on a quest to prove his worth to his warrior clan by hunting the seemingly unkillable apex predator of the treacherous, alien world of Genna, often called "The Death Planet." His perilous journey leads to an unlikely alliance with an advanced Weyland-Yutani Corporation android named Thia, whose own mission on the hostile planet went sideways. Together, the mismatched pair must navigate the lethal environment, evade Weyland-Yutani forces, and confront a terrifying creature that challenges everything Dek has been taught about the honor of the hunt, making for a thrilling sci-fi survival adventure.The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also helmed the critically acclaimed Prey. The main cast features Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as the Predator protagonist, Dek, and Elle Fanning in the dual role of the androids Thia and Tessa. As of the latest reports, Predator: Badlands has earned over $162 million at the global box office. Critics have embraced the fresh take, awarding it a Certified Fresh 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences have given it an even higher score of 96%.Reminder to grab your 30 day free Audible trial, link in the show; you'll be helping support DMR

Joe Escalante's weekly poke into the business end of showbiz... This week: Zootopia 2 knocks Wicked for Life out of the driver's seat, taking #1 at the Box Office this weekend.

The numbers Wicked: For Good brought in were even higher than expected!

Hiya! This week finds hosts Rod and Ben doing a rundown on recent theater and streaming watches ("Predator: Badlands", "Frankenstein"). Then we dive into news, Marvel and otherwise. For the main event we get into comparing the 2026 and the 2027 film lineups (as of now). What will the box office look like for those two year, whose summer will be bigger, etc. Do please enjoy!

Joe Escalante's weekly spelunk into the business end of showbiz. This Week: the Box Office is dominated by Wicked For Good, which everyone seemingly saw twice. Also, Now You See Me, No We Didn't is #2 (still haven't seen it... not sure we will). The sequel to Sisu came out, and landed at #6. Sam will probably push it up to #4 by himself next week... Larry Ellison is taking CNN at the White House, in the midst of Warner Bros. potential sale to Paramount. Joe talks about what this could mean for David Zazlov's legacy: was he the victim of a changing media landscape, or is he just the guy that killed a bunch of potentially huge projects (Batgirl) because he was afraid of diminishing their value. Time will tell there, for certain... In Celebs Behaving Badly... Rebel Wilson is in potential legal problems, Joe gives his 2 cents on if there's a defamation case there. Former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's defamation suit gets an update. And Usher planned a restaurant in Atlanta that didn't materialize. Joe discusses his favorite celeb-themed restaurants. Shout out to Kenny Rogers, Burt Reynolds, and... ALAN HALE'S LOBSTER BARREL!!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the long Thanksgiving weekend approaches, Jim Hill and Drew Taylor dig into a flurry of newly dropped animation trailers, surprising box office projections, and the industry shifts shaping Spring and Summer 2026. Recorded just as holiday season ramps up, this week's Fine Tooning mixes news, nostalgia, and some unexpected industry history. HIGHLIGHTS Why studios dropped so many major trailers this week — and what their early online rollouts say about today's marketing playbook. A look at the weekend box office projections, including the strong debut for Now You See Me, Now You Don't 3 and the surprising second-week drop for Predator: Badlands. Angel Studios' upcoming animated musical David and its early pre-sale strategy heading into the crowded December slate. First impressions of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants — plus memories from the 1980s Jetsons revival session featuring Mel Blanc. Updates on Super Mario Bros. Galaxy Movie, new leadership at Paramount Animation, and how “evergreen” franchises like Toy Story continue to evolve. A quick detour into the Magic Castle, close-up magic legends, and why those spaces still influence entertainment creatives today.
