The TLDR here is simple: 'BEEF' Is the Best Show on Netflix right now.But hop in anyway because Ebube's summoned AJ and Soonen for a union that's decidedly NOT fueled by road rage or deteriorating romance. The trio get into everything from who's actually in the right this season, to what the show has to say about the systems that feed the human conditionThey talk about how this season is as much about class warfare as individual conflicts (4:27), in line with what this season of the show is truly about (6:31); as well as the richness of the performances (9:49), Josh and Lindsay's delusion (19:49), how power changes people (23:35) and why it's important for young men to have solid role models (30:02).Art does mirror life after all.You can support us here.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube UbochiGuests: AJ & SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Editors - Laura Zempel, ACE and Lauren Connelly, ACE Although BEEF - Season 2 editors Laura Zempel and Lauren Connelly are working together for the first time, this is Laura's second season working on the series. But despite being new to one another, Laura's and Lauren's talents seamlessly combined to tackle a complex, character-driven "slow burn" with multiple storylines that required a delicate balancing of tone, including both dark comedy and psychological drama. Created by Korean director Lee Sung Jin (Sonny Lee) for Netflix, Season 2 of BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as Joshua Martin and Lindsay Crane-Martin, and Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton as Ashley and Austin, two couples; the poor latter two blackmailing the rich former two, using footage Ashley shot of a heated argument which would threaten their image. Similar to Season 1, this incident escalates into a prolonged feud and a game of cat-and-mouse...minus one dog. LAURA ZEMPEL In addition to her Emmy®-winning work on BEEF - Season 1, Laura's skills as an editor can be seen in another Netflix series, SIRENS (2025). She has also worked on EUPHORIA (2019-22), DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE (2020) and ROOM 104 (2017-19). Prior to that, she assisted on HOUSE OF CARDS (2014), DEXTER (2011-13) and IF I CAN DREAM (2010). LAUREN CONNELLY, ACE Originally from Chantilly, Virginia, Lauren graduated from The University of Southern California with a B.A. in Cinema-Television Production. Past credits include television shows such as MO on Netflix, GASLIT on Starz, MASTERS OF SEX on Showtime, THE STRAIN on FX, and THE SON on AMC. Recent feature films include SITTING IN BARS WITH CAKE for Amazon Studios, A TOURIST'S GUIDE TO LOVE on Netflix, and Rodrigo Garcia's FOUR GOOD DAYS, which premiered at Sundance.

This episode of All Pop, No Culture starts with Lauren's review of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which turns out to be a stronger sequel than expected. The conversation covers Anne Hathaway's return as Andy Sachs, Meryl Streep's more vulnerable Miranda Priestly, the fashion-world politics, and how the new movie updates its themes for the digital era. Andrew then delivers a passionate review of Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic, praising Jaafar Jackson's performance and arguing that the film succeeds on its own terms even if critics seem hung up on what it leaves for a future sequel. Kevin and Lauren join in on the debate around biopics, controversy, and whether critics are approaching the movie through the wrong lens. Kevin closes the main review section with a disappointed take on Beef Season 2, explaining why the new cast and story never quite match the energy, humor, or emotional impact of the first season. The episode also includes quick thoughts on From Season 4, Euphoria Season 3, and a preview of the movies and shows still coming later this year.
This week, Julia Turner and Dana Stevens are joined by Slate's own Rebecca Onion to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, BEEF season 2, and the NYT's best living songwriters package with Slate's music critic Carl Wilson. Twenty years on, we return to the world of The Devil Wears Prada. In the sequel, Andy, Anne Hathaway's character, must save Runway Magazine from the forces of capital, who are selling the Vogue-analogue for parts, as Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly struggles to hang on to her own power. The movie has a lot to say about the state of journalism and media with plot lines seemingly ripped from the gossip pages, but does it all come together in the edit? We discuss. Then, the second season of A24's anthology series BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a volatile millennial couple who enter into a feud with a younger couple, played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton. Set at a rich Californian golf resort and its environs, the show satirizes class and generational resentments as the characters scramble to claim the scraps of their betters at the expense of everyone else. The characters are mostly unlikeable, and the premise might be a little less original than the first season, but given BEEF's stacked cast and pedigree, does the show sizzle? Finally we're joined by Carl Wilson, Slate's music critic and author of the newsletter “Crritic!” to discuss the New York Times package: The 30 Greatest Living Songwriters. Carl submitted a ballot for the list, and the polished version isn't too far from his submission. He gets into his picks and discusses what the list is saying about the field of songwriting and the idea of a songwriter as it's been expanded to include non-traditional instrumentation and digital composition. But like all lists it has sparked debate about the inclusions (Carole King, Stevie Wonder) the exclusions (Randy Newman, Liz Phair, David Byrne) and whether Taylor Swift's inclusion was solely to get an interview. Together with Carl, we try and make sense of the list and talk about our favorites. As promised, here is Carl's full ballot (The asterisks indicate people who Carl voted for but who have since died):Willie NelsonSmokey Robinson Bobby Braddock *Brian WilsonBob DylanCarole KingRandy NewmanDolly PartonStevie Wonder*Sly StoneThe Flatlanders (Butch Hancock/Jimmie Dale Gilmore/*Joe Ely)Tom Waits & Kathleen BrennanNile RodgersDavid ByrneMark EitzelChuck D & the Bomb SquadJimmy Jam & Terry LewisStephin MerrittLiz PhairJohn Darnielle (The Mountain Goats)Missy Elliott & TimbalandThe Love Junkies (Hillary Lindsey/Lori McKenna/Liz Rose)Outkast (Big Boi/Andre 3000)Josh Osborne/Brandy Clark/Shane McAnallyPhoebe BridgersEndorsements: Julia: The SNL sketch featuring Teana Taylor, Grandpa At The Wedding.Rebecca: The new Lord Of The Flies adaptation on Netflix.

En el nuevo episodio de *Series en Serio* nos metemos de lleno en la segunda temporada de Beef, una secuela inesperada que cambia la rabia cotidiana de la primera entrega por una disección venenosa del privilegio, el matrimonio roto y la falsa movilidad social. Analizamos por qué Lee Sung Jin ha convertido un exclusivo club de campo en la mejor metáfora del capitalismo moderno, repasamos el espectacular reparto con Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny y Charles Melton, y profundizamos en todos sus simbolismos ocultos: las hormigas, el perro, el vídeo, el cuerpo como campo de batalla y el dinero como cárcel de lujo. ¿Es mejor que la primera temporada? ¿Es la versión más adulta, amarga y sofisticada de *Beef*? ¿Estamos ante una sátira social o una tragedia romántica disfrazada de comedia negra? Un episodio especial, largo y a fondo, para hablar de una serie que demuestra que la rabia no siempre explota… a veces se pudre lentamente.
Vi har fått säsong två utav Beef, som var en Netflix-hitserie från 2023, nu tillbaka med Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny och Charles Melton.Lee Cronins The Mummy, som alltså INTE är associerad med Brendan Frasers 90-talsfilmer, är också på tapeten.Glöm inte att följa oss på Instagram och TikTok: @filmsnacket, samt på alla plattformar där ni lyssnar på poddar!

En este vídeo de Razones para Ver Express te cuento mi opinión sin spoilers sobre el regreso de una de las series más sorprendentes de los últimos años. Analizo qué cambia respecto a la primera temporada, el nuevo enfoque centrado en el miedo en lugar de la rabia, el conflicto entre clases y generaciones, y si esta nueva historia consigue estar a la altura. También hablo del reparto con Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny y Charles Melton, y de cómo sus interpretaciones elevan la serie. Si te gustó la primera temporada o buscas una serie diferente, incómoda y con personajes complejos, aquí tienes todas las claves para decidir si verla o no.

Benoit Blanc is back — but not in the way you might expect.In this episode, we dig into Wake Up Dead Man, the third entry in Rian Johnson's Knives Out series, and quickly realise this isn't just another playful, sun-drenched whodunnit. The tone is darker, stranger, and far more morbid than Knives Out or Glass Onion, leaning hard into religious imagery, guilt, confession, and moral rot.Set around a remote church and a fire-and-brimstone priest, the film opens with what looks like an impossible murder: a man stabbed in a sealed room, in full view of his congregation. From there, Blanc circles a tight group of suspects — each with motive, history, and secrets — as the film toys with classic murder-mystery rules… and then quietly breaks a few of them.What we talk about in the episode:The tonal shift — why this feels closer to gothic noir than cosy Agatha ChristieReligion, confession, and judgment as thematic engines, not just window dressingWhether the mystery is too Scooby-Doo or intentionally rejecting “fair-play” sleuthingA stacked cast and who actually makes an impact (and who doesn't)Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc: more observer than solver this time — for better or worseThe film's final act, revelations, and why it left us oddly unsatisfied despite clever ideasHow it stacks up against Knives Out (still the gold standard) and Glass Onion (the loudest sibling)We also get into a broader debate about modern murder mysteries, Netflix's influence on structure and pacing, and whether this series is drifting away from the thing that made it work in the first place: watching a brilliant detective actually do the detecting.If you like your whodunnits bleak, talky, and a little unholy — or if you just want to hear us wrestle with a film that's clever, flawed, and deliberately frustrating — this one's for you.

Ever since we started hosting live Collider Ladies Night panels at San Diego Comic-Con, we've been tempted to explore doing group editions of the show, and what better ensemble to start that with than the women of the new Knives Out movie?Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny and Kerry Washington are some of the latest to join Rian Johnson's growing Knives Out family. In the third installment of the Oscar-nominated franchise, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Spaeny and Washington play two of Monsignor Wicks' (Josh Brolin) parishioners. Washington's Vera Draven is a lawyer whose father was a close friend to Wicks before he passed, and Spaeny plays Simone Vivane, a renowned concert cellist struggling with health concerns.When Monsignor Wicks is suddenly killed in the middle of a service while totally alone in the storage closet, Kunis' Police Chief Geraldine Scott calls upon Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) to investigate. Could Vera or Simone have killed Wicks? Or perhaps it was another member of his flock? Or, what about the church newcomer, Josh O'Connor's Father Jud Duplenticy? This time around, Blanc will have to do the impossible — solve a locked-room murder mystery.The Knives Out movies have become highly regarded for their summer camp-like sets and for their unparalleled rosters of talent, and Wake Up Dead Man is no different. Not only are Kunis, Spaeny and Washington fantastic additions to this cinematic world, but they also rock a wonderful group dynamic in an interview setting, one oozing with enthusiasm for each other as people and artists, feelings that left them eager to reunite for another film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this week's show Andrew and Ted discuss what they thought of the third installment of the Knives Out franchise, "Wake Up Dead Man". Daniel Craig is back as that southern private detective Benoit Blanc, hired by the local police chief (Mila Kunis), to solve what they feel is the unsolvable murder of Monsenyor Jefferson (Josh Brolin) the local priest. With suspects ranging from characters played by Thomas Haden Church, Andrew Scott, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Daryl McComack, Cailee Spaeny, Kerry Washington, and Jeremy Renner it's a classic who-done-it! Tune into find out how Andrew and Ted stack this case up against the previous Benoit Blanc mysteries!

This week, we review the third film in the whodunnit series of Benoit Blanc mysteries: Wake Up Dead Man. After Knives Out and Glass Onion, director Rian Johnson returns to the reins of his favorite genre. We discuss the franchise's increasingly charismatic roster of secondary protagonists, the year of Josh O'Connor, and whether or not Johnson's penchant for heavy-handed topicality once again derails a Benoit Blanc tale.
We are back with another fantastic episode of Films in Black and White. This time we are spending some time solving mysteries in upstate New York, with Rian Johnson's "Wake Up Dead Man."But first, we take some time to remember Rob Reiner, and his legacy on films. We talk about the leaked Avenger's Doomsday trailer.

"Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" had its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received just as strong reviews as the first two entries in the franchise, "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion," with praise directed at Rian Johnson's direction, writing, and the performances of the cast.

The second film to premiere on Netflix following "Glass Onion" and the third in the franchise overall, this latest murder-mystery sees Craig's Benoit Blanc return in a case that will take him to religious highs and devilish lows, with another electric cast of characters and plenty of twists and turns. What did we think of it?

Benoit Blanc is on the case again as he's called to solve a murder at a church in a seemingly-quaint New England hamlet. Josh O'Connor is the local priest, and there are a host of suspects to choose from. Aaron joins us to discuss Wake Up Dead Man.
Min 5: NUREMBERG (3 estrellas) 'Nuremberg ', dirigida por James Vanderbilt y protagonizada por Rami Malek en la piel del psiquiatra militar Douglas Kelley y Russell Crowe como un inquietante Hermann Göring, plantea un thriller histórico que convierte los juicios más determinantes del siglo XX en un duelo psicológico sostenido más que en un simple repaso académico. Basada en el libro 'El nazi y el psiquiatra', la película se concentra en las entrevistas carcelarias donde Kelley intenta evaluar la salud mental de los acusados mientras descubre que el mal que encarnan no reside en la locura, sino en una mezcla de cálculo, narcisismo y capacidad para manipular. Min 11: PUÑALES POR LA ESPALDA: DE ENTRE LOS MUERTOS (4 estrellas) 'Puñales por la espalda: De entre los muertos', dirigida por Rian Johnson y protagonizada por Daniel Craig como el incombustible Benoit Blanc junto a Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny y Kerry Washington, recupera el espíritu juguetón del whodunit contemporáneo y lo desplaza hacia un terreno más oscuro sin perder la ironía marca de la casa. Johnson arma un misterio que se abre en capas, con una muerte que parece más teatral que real, un elenco de sospechosos que van revelando el tipo de grietas morales que sostienen a los millonarios modernos y un detective que, entre bromas, sigue desentrañando la estupidez humana con la lucidez que lo hizo célebre en las dos entregas anteriores. Min 16: COARTADAS (2,5 estrellas) 'Coartadas', dirigida por Martín Cuervo y protagonizada por Jaime Lorente, Adriana Torrebejano y Leo Harlem, convierte la idea de una empresa especializada en fabricar excusas perfectas en el punto de partida de una comedia de enredo que funciona como retrato ligero, pero reconocible, de la cultura de la mentira cómoda. Cuervo, que se apoya en el modelo de la francesa 'Alibi.com', estira la premisa hasta el límite cuando el dueño de la agencia se enamora de una mujer que detesta a los mentirosos y descubre, demasiado tarde, que el padre de ella es uno de sus clientes más fieles. Min 18: SINGULAR (2,5 estrellas) 'Singular', dirigida por Alberto Gastesi y protagonizada por Patricia López Arnaiz y Javier Rey —con la aparición de Miguel Iriarte como elemento detonante— traza un thriller psicológico con matices de ciencia ficción y drama familiar, en el que la frontera entre la pérdida, la culpa y la esperanza se vuelve difusa. Gastesi plantea una reunión traumática: doce años tras la muerte de su hijo, Diana —especialista en inteligencia artificial— y Martín se ven obligados a volver a su vieja casa junto al lago, un escenario que debería servir para cerrar heridas y acaba convirtiéndose en un territorio de fantasmas emocionales cuando un joven con un inquietante parecido al hijo muerto irrumpe en sus vidas. Min 20: ZOOTRÓPOLIS 2 (3,5 estrellas) 'Zootrópolis 2', dirigida por Byron Howard y Jared Bush y protagonizada en su versión original por Ginnifer Goodwin y Jason Bateman como la agente Judy Hopps y el astuto Nick Wilde, retoma la energía de la primera entrega con un enfoque más ambicioso que mezcla sátira social, buddy movie y un toque de thriller urbano. La secuela desplaza a sus dos protagonistas hacia un caso que desborda lo policial y pone a prueba la frágil convivencia entre especies, un terreno donde la película brilla al combinar humor físico, guiños pop y una lectura adulta sobre el miedo, la desinformación y los prejuicios contemporáneos. Min 24: LA VOZ DE HIND (4,5 estrellas) 'La voz de Hind', dirigida por Kaouther Ben Hania y protagonizada por Saja Kilani junto a Motaz Malhees y Clara Khoury, reconstruye —con una crudeza conmovedora— el último grito de auxilio de una niña de seis años atrapada en Gaza tras un ataque aéreo, utilizando la voz real de la víctima para prolongar su súplica en el tiempo y colocar al espectador ante la evidencia de un horror que muchos prefieren ignorar. Alberto Luchini se deshace en elogios ante la que considera una de esas películas que trascenderá en el tiempo y que considera imprescindible. MIn 28: "BLUE MOON" (3 estrellas) 'Blue Moon', dirigida por Richard Linklater y protagonizada por Ethan Hawke como el letrista atormentado Lorenz Hart, junto a Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott y Bobby Cannavale, pone sobre la mesa la angustia de un artista que ve su ocaso profesional y emocional justo cuando el mundo celebra a su antiguo colaborador. La película transcurre en una única noche —la del estreno de 'Oklahoma!' en 1943— y convierte un bar de Broadway en un tribunal de musas, ego y desencanto. Min 32: "SOLO PIENSO EN TI". DOCUMENTAL. 3,5 estrellas Auspiciada por CMM y el gobierno de Castilla-La Mancha, 'Solo pienso en ti', dirigida por Hugo de la Riva y centrada en la historia real de María José y Emilio, dos jóvenes con discapacidad intelectual que en los años setenta desafiaron prejuicios familiares, médicos y legales para vivir juntos y formar un proyecto de vida, propone un documental que combina rigor histórico, emoción contenida y una mirada profundamente humana sobre la dignidad y el derecho a amar. El director manchego nos deja un mensaje muy especial para animar el visionado del largometraje. Min 35: "FLORES PARA ANTONIO". (3 estrellas) 'Flores para Antonio', dirigida por Isaki Lacuesta y articulada en torno a la figura del cantante Antonio Flores, reconstruye la trayectoria breve, intensa y frágil de un artista que convirtió su dolor en una voz propia y terminó devorado por la presión familiar, la exigencia pública y sus propios fantasmas. Lacuesta esquiva el biopic convencional y opta por un documental que mezcla material doméstico nunca visto, grabaciones de estudio, diarios, entrevistas actuales con familiares y músicos cercanos, y una puesta en escena que ilumina tanto la energía creativa de Antonio como la sombra emocional que lo acompañó desde joven. Min 40: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON JULIÁN LOMINCHAR En la entrega de hoy nuestro invitado es Julián Lominchar, dibujante y animador toledano que ha vivido un año decisivo tras formar parte del equipo de Robot Dreams y ser admitido (esta misma semana) en la Academia de Cine. Un reconocimiento que confirma su proyección dentro de la animación española. Lominchar habla con la mirada limpia de quien se ha criado entre lápices, papel y sueños posibles, y por eso no sorprende que su elección para La película de tu vida sea el 'Pinocho' de 1940. Min 42: BSO: "DRÁCULA", de Danny Elfman (4 estrellas) La banda sonora de 'Drácula', compuesta por Danny Elfman, es un ejercicio de poderío musical en el que el autor recupera su faceta más gótica y sinfónica para construir un paisaje sonoro que respira deseo, amenaza y tragedia a partes iguales. Elfman articula el score como una sucesión de impulsos emocionales: cuerdas que se retuercen como si fuesen un hilo de sangre, metales que irrumpen con una gravedad casi litúrgica y coros que oscilan entre lo sagrado y lo profano, recordando por momentos la sensualidad oscura de 'Sleepy Hollow' y la teatralidad operística de su etapa más expresionista.
Travis Hopson reviews Rian Johnson's WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY starring Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Jeremy Renner, Glenn Close, Cailee Spaeny, Mila Kunis, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.SYNOPSIS: Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson's murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O'Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it's clear that all is not well in the pews. Wicks's modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq. (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.WAKE UP DEAD MAN is in select theaters now, Netflix on December 12th.All of this and more can be found at www.punchdrunkcritics.com!Subscribe to Punch Drunk Critics on YouTube: / @punchdrunkcritics1 Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Twitter: / pdcmovies Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Facebook: / pdcmovies You can also subscribe to our podcast Cinema Royale anywhere you get your podcasts!#WakeUpDeadMan #KnivesOut #rianjohnson
Rian Johnson & Daniel Craig have returned to deliver us their third Knives Out Mystery. Wake Up Dead Man has now dropped in select theaters worldwide, and will drop on Netflix on December 12. I'm very lucky to be ten minutes away from a local cinema that plays all of Netflix's releases before they drop on the platform, so you bet I rushed out to see the new whodunnit on the first day of release. The first Knives Out is easily my favorite murder-mystery of all-time, and Glass Onion was definitely a really solid follow-up even if it was a little uneven. More importantly though, I think Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, has to be on the Mount Rushmore of most iconic new movie characters of the past decade; in fact, I think Craig is so good in the role that Blanc is now dangerously close to overtaking Bond as his most iconic character. I know, I know... sue me. Rian Johnson is also one of my favorite filmmakers and he never misses! So, is Wake Up Dead Man the most engrossing mystery the team have delivered yet? Find out in this review!Wake Up Dead Man:Written and Directed by: Rian JohnsonProduced by: Ram Bergman, Rian JohnsonExecutive Producer: Tom KarnowskiMusic by: Nathan JohnsonDirector of Photography: Steve YedlinEdited by: Bob DucsayCasting by: Bret Howe, Mary VernieuProduction Design by: Rick HeinrichsCostume Design by: Jenny EaganCast: Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, Thomas Haden ChurchSynopsis: When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it's clear that all is not well in the pews.

fWotD Episode 3040: Bad Times at the El Royale Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 31 August 2025, is Bad Times at the El Royale.Bad Times at the El Royale is a 2018 American neo-noir hyperlink thriller film written, directed, and produced by Drew Goddard. Starring Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman, and Chris Hemsworth, the film follows six strangers and an employee at the El Royale, a hotel located along the California–Nevada border, whose personal secrets intersect on a fateful night in the late 1960s. The film explores themes of morality, faith, and redemption, with the state border and other visual elements symbolizing the concept of right and wrong.Goddard began writing the spec script for the film in November 2016, and compiled a list of songs into his screenplay. After telling major studios to avoid buying the script if they could not buy the licenses for each piece of music, he sold it to 20th Century Fox in March 2017. Principal photography began on January 29, 2018, with cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, and concluded on April 6. The El Royale hotel was built entirely on a studio set in Burnaby, under the supervision of production designer Martin Whist, who had envisioned designing a perfectly symmetrical hotel. During post-production, editing was completed by Lisa Lassek and the musical score was composed by Michael Giacchino. The marketing campaign for the film included posters, trailers, and television advertisements, stylized to evoke nostalgia of the noir genre and to make it stand out against other films in theaters.Bad Times at the El Royale premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on September 22, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 12. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $31.8 million against its $32 million production budget. Despite this, it received positive reviews from critics, who praised the soundtrack, performances of the cast, and McGarvey's cinematography, but criticized its pacing, runtime, character beats, and Goddard's writing. At the 45th Saturn Awards, the film received five nominations, Best Writing for Goddard, Best Actor for Bridges, Best Supporting Actor for Pullman, Best Supporting Actress for Erivo, and won for Best Thriller Film.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Sunday, 31 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Bad Times at the El Royale on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Salli.

Ben and Rob head to the frontlines with Alex Garland's Civil War (2024), the film that he intended to be his last in the directors chair. Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman, Civil War isn't your typical dystopian epic. Instead, Alex Garland delivers a chilling, ground-level road movie where journalists race through a divided America to document its collapse. But why did Alex Garland decide Civil War would be his final film? And why is journalism such a personal subject for this movie?The lads also dive into the film's technical side, unpacking how Alex Garland uses chromatic aberration to distort reality and amplify tension without the audience even realising. Is it a visual gimmick, or a metaphor for truth being refracted and fragmented?Finally, they ask the big question: what does Civil War actually mean?

Mark and Norbert discuss the 2024 sequel/prequel/rebootquel Alien: Romulus. Directed by pain merchant Fede Álvarez, and starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson and a bunch of dad jokes, the movie focuses on what happens when a group of young people get torn to shreds by a group of angry aliens. In this episode, they also talk about Alien franchise lore, swimming facehuggers, and mean movies. Enjoy!
Topics covered include: Charles connecting with his dad through his role in Warfare, total immersion, knowing your castmates' meal requests by heart (Noah Centineo: 3 burger patties), sage advice from Alex Garland to “never say yes to anything before you read it,” pinch me moments, impersonating Will's American accent, Charles working with fellow Garland alum Cailee Spaeny on the newest season of Beef, feeling out of continuity with your own life, playing many rounds of Mafia after hours, wild peacocks, Will having an absolute blast with Jenna and Richard E. Grant on set of Death of a Unicorn, Michael Gandolfini as the worlds best storyteller, and Warfare as the most transformative and meaningful experience of their lives.
Looking for a documentary about Trump's second term in office? Look no further than Alex Garland's Civil War. I'm only kidding… slightly. Civil War is a well-made, dystopian political action thriller for the sensitive photographer's soul that will leave you wondering just what side you're on.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media
