Podcast appearances and mentions of christopher landon

Directed by Christopher Landon, Drop is the thriller film from Blumhouse starring Meghann Fahy. Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone. We break down all the thrills that come with this premise, discuss the film's twists and reveals, and explore the diabolical awkwardness of potentially the worst date ever.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're revisiting an episode about the terrifying and sometimes darkly comedic world of time loops! With the recent release of the Until Dawn, we thought it was the perfect time to dust off this classic comparison between two fantastic films that trap their protagonists in a recurring nightmare: Happy Death Day (2017) and Source Code (2011). Happy Death Day (2017) Directed by Christopher Landon, Happy Death Day puts a slasher twist on the time loop concept. College student Tree Gelbman finds herself reliving the day of her murder over and over again. To break the loop, she must figure out who her killer is and stop them, all while navigating the increasingly bizarre and dangerous repetitions of her final day. It's a clever blend of horror, comedy, and mystery with a charismatic lead performance. Source Code (2011) Directed by Duncan Jones, Source Code takes a more sci-fi thriller approach to the time loop. Captain Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot, wakes up in the body of an unknown man on a commuter train moments before it explodes. He's part of a top-secret program that allows him to inhabit the last few minutes of a person's life to gather information and prevent future terrorist attacks. Each jump back offers new clues and increasingly complex moral dilemmas. Tune in for a repeat dose of temporal terror!

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

Christopher Landon's latest flick is the trailer you've seen if you've been to the theaters in the last month. In fact, the running joke on Reddit is the trailer for Drop should show before the actual movie that way we can get the full circle experience.

Turns out I was wrong on both counts!Since this is a mini pod, the episode is me talking about my thoughts on the film and doing some light info with ciritic reviews.

On this week's incredibly on-time New Flesh podcast, Jesse & Brett tackle the latest mainstream new release genre picture, DROP, directed by Christopher Landon of the HAPPY DEATH DAY films and FREAKY.

Before that, plenty of horror news of the week, including an update from the writer of THE WOMAN IN THE YARD and details about the new PREDATOR movie(s)

When does a filmmaker become a brand? That's what the Film School Janitors (try to) discuss while reviewing Christopher Landon's latest, DROP, as well as RECYCLE REVIEWING M. Night Shyamalan's TRAP. Besides both having four-letter titles with two of the same letters in the same spots, there are some structural and tonal similarities. Not too many, though, otherwise this wouldn't be MIXING BLEACH AND AMMONIA. Make sure your room is well ventilated...

As his latest, the Hitchcockian thriller Drop arrives in cinemas, we take a look at what director and writer Christopher Landon has been up to since the Happy Death Day movies and Freaky: recent Valentine themed slasher Heart Eyes, and the Netflix family film We Have A Ghost Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber

Christopher Landon - director of Happy Death Day and Freaky - is back with his latest film, Drop. I was a HUGE fan of both of those crowd-pleasing, horror-comedies (one of the most underutilized genres in Hollywood today) but I didn't quite love the premise or trailer for Drop. I don't know if that's because I was expecting kind of his usual shtick of a fun sci-fi spin on a slasher. Even Heart Eyes, which he wrote alongside one of his Freaky co-writer Michael Kennedy, was a slasher combined with another genre, rom-coms. And, to great success I might add. I just thought the premise required such a crazy leap of suspension of disbelief that I just couldn't get into the idea. Did the film win me over?

Min 19: MUY LEJOS (3,5 estrellas) "Muy lejos", ópera prima de Gerard Oms, es un drama intimista que explora la identidad, el desarraigo y la reconstrucción personal. La película sigue a Sergio (Mario Casas), un hincha del RCD Espanyol que, tras un ataque de pánico en Utrecht, decide quedarse en los Países Bajos, rompiendo todo vínculo con su vida anterior. Sin recursos ni conocimiento del idioma, Sergio enfrenta la precariedad, el racismo y la exclusión social, mientras busca redefinir su identidad en un entorno desconocido. Min 25: SEGUNDO ACTO (4 estrellas) "El segundo acto" (Le Deuxième Acte), dirigida por Quentin Dupieux, es una comedia metacinematográfica que satiriza con ingenio y surrealismo los entresijos del cine y la actuación. La trama se centra en cuatro personajes —interpretados por Léa Seydoux, Vincent Lindon, Louis Garrel y Raphaël Quenard— que se reúnen en un restaurante aislado para una escena que pronto se revela como parte de un rodaje, desdibujando las fronteras entre ficción y realidad.? Min 28: LA CITA (4 estrellas) "La cita" (Drop, 2025), dirigida por Christopher Landon y producida por Blumhouse y Platinum Dunes, es un thriller que explora los peligros de las citas en la era digital. La historia sigue a Violet (Meghann Fahy), una joven viuda que decide reinsertarse en el mundo de las citas a través de una aplicación. Lo que comienza como un encuentro prometedor con Henry (Brandon Sklenar) en un restaurante de lujo, pronto se convierte en una pesadilla cuando Violet comienza a recibir mensajes anónimos amenazantes durante la cena. Min 32: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON JOAQUÍN GUZMÁN El director del programa "La Rotonda" de Radio Castilla-La Mancha y mítico presentador de la extinta "La Gramola" (M80 Radio) nos deja boquiabiertos con la elección de la película de su vida: Los Santos Inocentes. Una de las obras maestras del cine español no sólo impactó a nuestro invitado por su calidad, sino por el ambiente en el que la disfrutó: en plenos años 80, días después de su estreno, en un cine de la Gran Vía madrileña y con una cerrada ovación del público al finalizar la proyección. Min 38: ESPECIAL BSO SEMANA SANTA: "ESPARTACO" La película de la vida de Joaquín Guzmán es casi casi tan buena como la que llenará de música grande e inmortal nuestro diván de las bandas sonoras. Con pie y medio en la Semana Santa, hoy Ángel Luque saca brillo a la música que el impagable Alex North, maestro de maestros, le compuso a Stanley Kubrick para Espartaco (1960)

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast is jam-packed etc. etc. Bumper-sized, and so on and so forth. But it's true, perhaps this week more than ever as Chris Hewitt sits down for chats with two pairs — first, there's Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, who reunite almost 30 years after The English Patient for this week's Odyssey-sampling drama, The Return. [24:05 - 38:32 approx] Then, there's Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne, stars of the new spy thriller The Amateur, who reflect upon where they met, their working relationship, and the influence of Event Horizon upon modern cinema. [1:03:32 - 1:17:24 approx] Finally, Ben Travis has a lovely chat with Christopher Landon, the always affable director of this week's thriller, Drop. [1:38:53 - 1:53:53 approx] Either side of those, Chris welcomes Ben and James Dyer into the podbooth, as well as our returning geek queen, Helen O'Hara, back after that small business of getting married. They talk about that, discuss the great movie weddings they'd like to attend, run their eye over the week's movie news (including a whole bunch of trailers), and review The Amateur, The Return, Holy Cow, Drop, and One To One: John & Yoko. Also, Chris unleashes a new and almost instantly unwanted impression, and the question is asked: who is the funniest person Helen knows? The answer may shock you. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, Dave can't make it this week (we miss you), but we (Evan and Megan) carry on in his stead. First we cover Michael Angarano's dramedy SACREMENTO (2:14), where a free-spirited guy (Angarano) cons his anxiety-ridden best friend (Michael Cera) into taking a road trip to, you guessed it, Sacramento. The movie, which co-stars the vastly underused Maya Erskine and Kristen Stewart, has the occasional poignant moment or funny line but is too scattershot for our taste. Next, we review Christopher Landon's thriller DROP (23:02), which stars Meghann Fahy as a widowed, domestic abuse survivor and mother who is terrorized by anonymous threatening messages on her first date in years. We really dig its central mystery, lead performance, intense atmosphere, and sharp commentary on abuse. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Martha Coolidge's 1985 comedy REAL GENIUS in honor of the late Val Kilmer!

Drop is about a woman who goes on a really, really bad date, replete with ominous drop messages, murder, and her family being put in peril. Rachel joins us to discuss this exciting new thriller from Christopher Landon and Blumhouse.

Director Christopher Landon joins IndieWire features writer Jim Hemphill to talk about his latest film, “Drop.” A thriller set almost entirely in one location, relying heavily on cell phones, “Drop” created a number of logistical and aesthetic challenges for Landon, all of which he breaks down in this conversation.

Christopher Landon and Straw Hat Goofy talk his new movie Drop, horror/comedy, and dating.

Both The Mist and our guest's latest film, Drop, are contained pot-boilers as a small group of people share the same small common area as wild stuff is happening outside. One involves creepy cell phone drops, the other tentacled monsters, but go with us with this comparison.

HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER! This episode we discuss 'DROP', the latest short and sweet thriller from consistently excellent director Christopher Landon. We explain why it harkens back to a relatively recent yesteryear of cinema, where we ask ourselves "Why don't they make movies like this anymore?" We also dig into how MINECRAFT smashed the box office while the Disney touted SNOW WHITE did the exact opposite. On top of all that, we have an old fashioned slobber-knocker argument over Joe's reality shattering theory regarding John Carpenter's all time classic, THE THING. This is one you don't want to miss!

[Editor's Note: We experienced some technical difficulties with the audio of this episode. Our apologies, and thank you for your understanding!]Meghann Fahy's been thriving on screen for quite some time now. She was in over 80 episodes of One Life to Live as Hannah O'Connor and starred in the hit Freeform series The Bold Type which ran for five seasons. But, there's no denying that The White Lotus was a different kind of game-changer. Not only did Mike White's HBO series continue to be a pop culture sensation in its second season, but the quality of the new episodes earned nine members of the ensemble Emmy nominations, including Fahy.Since that Emmy nomination? Fahy's downright soaring. She had a role in the 2024 genre mash-up gem Your Monster starring a Collider Ladies Night favorite, Melissa Barrera. She was in The Perfect Couple with Nicole Kidman, she was in Rebuilding with Josh O'Connor which earned high praise at Sundance, and is also in Molly Smith Metzler's highly anticipated Netflix series Sirens with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock. All very exciting achievements, but there's something extra special about the movie Fahy has hitting theaters on April 11. Christopher Landon's Drop marks the very first time Fahy is #1 on the call sheet for a feature film.She headlines as Violent, a widowed mother reluctantly going on her first date in years. While dining in an upscale restaurant with her dating app match, Brandon Sklenar's Henry, Violet starts getting a string of unusual and alarming anonymous drops to her phone. Is it her date? Is it another diner? Or perhaps it's an employee at the restaurant. Violet doesn't know and she'll have to figure it out on her own because the assailant is watching and they insist she tell no one - or else.Drop rocks a sharp script and the much-needed skilled mind and eye to execute it in Landon, but the success of the film heavily depends on Fahy's ability to deftly navigate the production challenges that come with such a concept while also ensuring the viewer can feel the threat Violet's under, and she excels tackling both - big time. While celebrating Drop's World Premiere screening at SXSW, Fahy visited the Collider Media Studio at the Cinema Center for a Collider Ladies Night interview to go back to the beginning and recap her journey to landing at the top of the call sheet.

There was a brief period in time when the movie Drive was set to star Hugh Jackman, and be backed by a Universal Studios budget. But when they fell through, the movie became an lower budget independent, and for the first time, Ryan Gosling was able to hand-pick a director. He made an unusual, yet very successful choice. For the second half of this episode, director Christopher Landon joins Simon to chat about his latest film, Drop. In the course of the conversation, they also end up nattering about Happy Death Day, the James Bond saga, and a whole lot more... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
