Guy Ritchie's 1000th movie of the last five years - Fountain of Youth - arrived on Apple TV+ this weekend . I had a chance to see it, albeit a little later than I wanted to. I've been a fan of Guy Ritchie's ever since I first blossomed as young film fan; I think he consistently makes fun movies, although they're rarely great, and we're certainly long past his era of truly awful movies at this point. That being said, one of my biggest disappointments of last year was The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which I was pumped for. Similar to that, I really dug the B National Treasure that the trailers of this particular film were selling, and I've been looking forward to seeing it since. Adventure movies are so few and far between these days. Is this a fun one? Find out in this review!Fountain of Youth:Directed by: Guy RitchieWritten by: James VanderbiltProduced by: Ivan Atkinson, Ritchie Atkinson, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Jake Myers, Paul Neinstein, Guy Ritchie, William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, Tripp VinsonExecutive Producers: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tara Farney, Tyler Gillett, Chad VillellaMusic by: Christopher BensteadCinematography by: Ed WildEdited by: James HerbertCasting by: Daniel HubbardProduction Design by: Martyn JohnCostume Design by: Loulou BontempsCast: John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza González, Domhnall GleasonSynopsis: A treasure-hunting mastermind assembles a team for a life-changing adventure. But to outwit and outrun threats at every turn, he'll need someone even smarter than he is: his estranged sister.
Scott Brown of Brown Technical Insights says that the market traditionally is weak during the first quarter of a new presidential cycle, but he notes that the third week of March is also when that tends to change and the market reaches the bottom of that cycle. He says we're still in a secular bull market, with April and May historically providing some runway. As a result, Brown expects a bounce and says "It's not the time to be turning negative now," though he notes that if the seasonal rally fails to materialize, then conditions could be weaker than expected. Also on the show, David Ellison, portfolio manager and financial services specialist for the Hennessy Funds, says that interest-rate cuts may, again, not have their traditional impact on stock and bond markets, and veteran financial journalist Allan Sloan "has fun with numbers," talking about the market's recent decline in numbers — rather than points on a stock index — and noting that it amounted to roughly $6.5 trillion until Monday's market rebound.
David Ellison says the reason why rates fall matters – especially if due to a recession. However, the banks he's talked to don't seem concerned about the economy, though he thinks big banks have the advantage over regionals. He likes Visa (V), Mastercard (MA), JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Citigroup (C). “The smaller you get, the more you need consolidation,” he adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
The Gorge - the latest film from Doctor Strange and Sinister director Scott Derrickson - has landed on Apple TV+. Welcome back to MOVIE Morning for another review and this time, we'll be talking about a streaming movie; I feel like it's been a while. I think Scott Derrickson is a very talented director: I'm, of course, a huge fan of Doctor Strange and Sinister, but also of the fantastic The Black Phone and the very underrated The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The Gorge, though, hasn't looked great from the previews and I really can't bring myself to get excited for streaming movies nowadays, unless they're titled Knives Out and directed by one of the all-time greatest filmmakers. Is The Gorge a solid thriller for Valentine's Day weekend, or is this one a pass like most streaming films? Find out in this review!The Gorge:Directed by: Scott DerricksonWritten by: Zach DeanProduced by: C.

Matt is joined by Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw to discuss the complicated holdup in the sale of Paramount Global to David Ellison and his company, Skydance Media. They break down the situation—which involves Donald Trump's lawsuit over Kamala Harris's '60 Minutes' interview on CBS—and consider the options for Paramount Global head Shari Redstone to get this deal done. They also look ahead at the implications this may have for future mergers in Hollywood (03:32). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the Academy Awards' Best Picture race (24:47).

We talk post election, state of the union, the next 4 years and will the Democrats ever get over Tuesday?!
This week, the boys discuss Stephen Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence, not to be confused with A1: The Steak Sauce. When Stanley Kubrick handed over the film, did 10-year-old John know he'd never ever be able to trust this film? Just kidding. He went in with an open mind. As did Dave, who pulled a Roger Ebert: hated it the first time he watched it but loved it this time around! Where did Jeff land? I wonder if he liked it better than he likes subway poetry.

This week, after John briefly discusses "Goodrich", the new Michael Keaton picture written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, the boys take on another Hitchcock classic to highlight the film year 1959. Chosen by our random year generator, 1959 was a doozy for world and civil news, making a mistaken identity spy thriller the perfect film to highlight. You'll have to listen to see if the boys think this film sits on the Mount Rushmore (get it?) of Hitchcock's classics. Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

The random year generator spun 1974, so the boys head to 1937 L.A. to discuss the Roman Polanski, Robert Towne, Bob Evans, Jack Nicholson, and Faye Dunaway classic “Chinatown”. Often cited as one of the best movies with one of the best scripts in Hollywood history, plenty has been said about this film. Still, cinematographer Dave had never seen it, John went to fancy film school, and Jeff goes deep into the context of the film year, highlighting top-grossing films, awards, and what the heck was going on in the world. Is it coincidental that Nixon's public demise and unequivocal exoneration came the year Chinatown cites bureaucratic corruption??? Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

David Ellison, Portfolio Manager and Financial Services Specialist at the Hennessy Funds, says that the banking industry is coming out of "a two-to five year period of darkness," heading for "sunny days ahead," though he notes that banks do not want interest rates to fall too far but he thinks earnings can grow even if the Federal Reserve cuts rates by another 1 percent or more. Ellison also notes that anticipated problems in commercial real estate — considered a real threat to the health of the banking system — aren't likely to materialize as a real threat now because the industry has spent the last two-plus years preparing for trouble. "It may be a drag here and there, but it won't be a blow-up problem," he says. Dana Staggs, President of Arrowmark Financial Corp., looks at a high-yielding alternative to standard banking plays, talking about how his closed-end fund relies on regulatory capital relief securities — esoteric investments that currently can generate yields of up to 15 percent — and that should hold up when rates get cut further in the coming year. Jason Brown of The Brown Report says that the stock market's technicals are showing him signs that a big downturn is in the offing, and Portfolio Manager Michael Roomberg of Miller/Howard Investments, talks energy stocks in the Market Call.
David Ellison says "the worm has turned" in favor of financials. The Financial Sector SPDR (XLF) is trading near all-time highs as banks post beats in earnings. However, David points to changes in the banking industry that show small banks may need to consolidate as fintech evolves. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Two of the three dive into this high drama from the early 2000's. Jeff is away but somehow still appears in the episode and doesn't sound the least bit like he's broadcasting from a phone in a toilet cubicle in Times Square (Don't try and find them, they don't exist) thanks to our AI audio algorithm knowing what he sounds like and his volume level. We discuss acting performances, daring editing choices and the cinematography of the film, and have a lengthy extra discussion about how streaming "TV show" budgets are out of control. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:06:37 - Mini Review The Outrun 00:10:10 - Gripes 00:18:09 - 2003 Year in Review 00:32:02 - Films of 2003: 21 Grams 01:10:27 - What You Been Watching? 01:16:07 - Next Episode Additional Cast/Crew: Alejandro G.

This week, the boys head back to 1940 to discuss “The Shop Around The Corner” after setting up the film year and discussing some world events- Nylon stockings were invented this year! After Jeff gives his mini-review of “Saturday Night”, the Jason Reitman film about the making of the first episode of “Saturday Night Live”, the boys discuss the Ernst Lubitsch film, adapted from the 1936/1937 play Hungarian Perfumerie, which also inspired the musical She Loves Me and the film “You've Got Mail”.

The boys get romantic in 1955 NYC, where a simple middle-aged 34-year-old butcher named Marty caves to societal pressures and calls up a lady. We discuss! The random year generator spun in 1955, and we decided to delve into Paddy Chayefsky's pen when he wrote “Marty”, the Oscar and Palme D'Or-winning 90-minute slice of dramatic life film starring with Ernest Borgnine in his Academy Award-winning performance.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras ¡Es oficial! La guerra de ofertas por Paramount Global $PARA ha terminado después de que Edgar Bronfman Jr. pusiera fin a su intento de adquirir el histórico estudio de Hollywood por $6B que desafiaban el acuerdo de fusión de Skydance Media. La salida del heredero de Seagram Co. significa que Skydance -dirigida por David Ellison, hijo del multimillonario inconformista tecnológico y cofundador de Oracle $ORCL Larry Ellison- se convertirá en el nuevo propietario de Paramount. El director ejecutivo de Meta $META, Mark Zuckerberg, dijo que estaba mal que los funcionarios de la administración Biden presionaran a la empresa para que censurara el contenido sobre la COVID-19 en 2021. Zuckerberg también admitió que Meta no debería haber ocultado contenido relacionado con las acusaciones de corrupción que involucran a Hunter Biden, y dijo que no haría contribuciones para apoyar la infraestructura electoral en este ciclo electoral. Lowe's $LOW es la última empresa que ha reducido sus programas de diversidad, equidad e inclusión, cediendo a las críticas en línea sobre sus políticas, y el activista conservador Robby Starbuck se atribuye el mérito de la medida. El minorista de artículos para el hogar ya no participará en el Índice de Igualdad Corporativa de la Campaña de Derechos Humanos y solo patrocinará eventos comunitarios relacionados con viviendas asequibles, ayuda en caso de desastres y educación en oficios especializados. La medida sigue a Tractor Supply $TSCO, Deere $DE y Harley-Davidson $HOG que redujeron o eliminaron los programas DEI en los últimos meses. Canadá planea imponer un impuesto adicional del 100% a todos los vehículos eléctricos fabricados en China, a partir del 1 de octubre, con el objetivo de nivelar el campo de juego, ya que los fabricantes de vehículos eléctricos chinos actualmente disfrutan de grandes subsidios en el país. Actualmente, Tesla $TSLA es el único fabricante de automóviles que exporta vehículos eléctricos fabricados en China a Canadá. La decisión sigue a la de Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, que impusieron sus propios aranceles a los vehículos eléctricos chinos en medio de crecientes preocupaciones por un exceso de oferta de vehículos baratos. Hablando de aranceles, XPeng $XPEV está buscando establecer un sitio de fabricación en Europa para reducir el impacto de los gravámenes de la región.
Matt is joined by Puck's William D. Cohan to discuss the never-ending battle for control of Paramount, which has been further complicated by an 11th-hour offer for Paramount from billionaire Edgar Bronfman Jr. Matt and Bill explain who Bronfman is, simplify the complicated details of his pitch, and decide whether Bronfman's or David Ellison's deal is better (03:33). Matt finishes the show by breaking some news about the return of the hit Apple TV+ show ‘Ted Lasso' and making a prediction about its lead character in Season 4 (23:49).

The boys head back to 1945 England, where not much was happening (just kidding), to watch David Lean's 'Brief Encounter' as part of our Random Year Generator series. David Lean's first three films, including this one, were all Noël Coward adaptations! Didn't expect that from the guy who gave us 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'. We're a drinking podcast trying to keep it positive, but somehow, Dave got buzzed over 25 times talking about this romantic drama rated the #2 Greatest British Film of all time by the British Film Institute!

The boys head to 1995 to discuss ‘Leaving Las Vegas', Nicolas Cage's Oscar-winning role, and whether or not there can be such a thing as too much jazz scatting in a film score. We set the scene, give you some context of world and film news from 1995, and sink our teeth into a productive conversation about this emotional film about an alcoholic (Cage) and his prostitute friend, Elizabeth Shue.

This week on the pod, Dave gives a brief, spoiler-free recommendation of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' before the boys take a trip back to 2018 to discuss David Robert Mitchell's ‘Under the Silver Lake'. The random year generator spun 2018, and the boys didn't want to discuss the big money-makers of the year. Screw them.

This week, the boys head up the Cahulawassee River to discuss ‘Deliverance': Films of 1972. Our random year generator spun a year we've previously crossed to discuss ‘The Godfather' and ‘A Clockwork Orange,' and the three of us had never seen it before! Maybe it's people's reaction when you say, “I'm going to watch ‘Deliverance,' want to come over?” While we're a joke-flinging, arrow-shooting, beer-drinking podcast, we promise to give a thoughtful and insightful reflection of ‘Deliverance' that other podcasts can't deliver!

This week, the boys grab a beer and head back to 2010 to cover Denis Villeneuve's ‘Incendies', now streaming on Prime, and discuss what else was happening in that surprising year.

This potential merger builds on the long history of collaboration between Skydance and Paramount, which includes a five-year co-financing and distribution agreement that started in 2009 and was renewed twice before ending in 2021. Skydance has been expanding its reach in recent years, launching Skydance Television in 2013 and Skydance Animation in 2017, and has also signed a multi-year feature film deal with Apple TV+ and secured a $1 billion credit facility for investments. If the merger is successful, it would create a new entity, "New Paramount," with David Ellison at the helm, marking a significant shift in the entertainment industry landscape.https://cosmicbook.news/skydance-media-paramount Apex Legends - In Apex Legends Season 22, major changes to the battle pass system have sparked backlash from players.

If the merger is successful, it would create a new entity, "New Paramount," with David Ellison at the helm, marking a significant shift in the entertainment industry landscape.https://cosmicbook.news/skydance-media-paramount Apex Legends - In Apex Legends Season 22, major changes to the battle pass system have sparked backlash from players.

Paramount Global, which owns Paramount Studios, CBS and more, has agreed to merge with Skydance Media, the source of some of Paramount's biggest films. The deal will cost Skydance and its founder David Ellison $8 billion and would cement Ellison’s position as a Hollywood mogul. We’ll unpack. Plus, more Americans are traveling abroad thanks to a strong U.S. dollar. And there’s more people looking for work, but it’s taking them longer to find jobs.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Se abre un nuevo capítulo para Paramount Global tras varios giros llenos de drama que la llevaron finalmente a aceptar una fusión con Skydance Media de David Ellison. Es una transacción compleja, pero hay esperanzas de que pueda resucitar un ícono de Hollywood que ha borrado alrededor del 70% de su valor de mercado luego de la recombinación de Viacom y CBS en 2019. La compañía luego fue rebautizada como Paramount Global, pero desde entonces ha experimentado problemas de efectivo con su negocio de streaming (Paramount+), sufrió una caída en la televisión lineal (CBS y MTV) y vio a S&P Global rebajar su deuda a la categoría de "basura". Francia se prepara para una incertidumbre política sin precedentes, ya que el Nuevo Frente Popular emergió como el ganador sorpresa de las elecciones legislativas, obteniendo más escaños que la alianza Ensemble del presidente Emmanuel Macron y el Agrupamiento Nacional de Marine Le Pen. Pero como ningún bando logró obtener una mayoría, la Francia moderna verá su primer parlamento sin un partido dominante. Los operadores parecen haber restado importancia a la incertidumbre, ya que el índice CAC 40 (CAC:IND) revirtió pérdidas anteriores y subió casi un 1%. Como los tres grupos tienen agendas muy diferentes en lo que respecta a temas que van desde los impuestos hasta la inmigración, no está claro cómo avanzarán para formar un gobierno. La tercera es la vencida. El fabricante de refrescos Britvic (OTCQX:BTVCF), que cotiza en la Bolsa de Londres, ha acordado una adquisición por parte de la cervecera danesa Carlsberg $CABGY, creando un gigante de las bebidas "con una sólida plataforma para el éxito continuo". La operación ayudará a Carlsberg a diversificarse fuera del mercado de la cerveza, con una expansión hacia las bebidas no alcohólicas. La oferta de adquisición endulzada se valoró en 3.280 millones de libras ($4.2B) después de que Britvic rechazara dos ofertas anteriores que consideró demasiado bajas. La nueva combinación también involucrará a PepsiCo $PEP, dados sus acuerdos de larga data con Britvic sobre la producción y las ventas en el Reino Unido. $BA Boeing ha aceptado declararse culpable de un cargo de conspiración criminal para defraudar al gobierno de Estados Unidos después de que el Departamento de Justicia determinara que violó un acuerdo sobre dos accidentes fatales del 737 MAX en 2018/19. El fabricante de aviones se enfrentará a la multa máxima por el delito, o $487.2M, y deberá invertir $455M para fortalecer sus programas de cumplimiento y seguridad. Las familias de las víctimas dijeron que el acuerdo de culpabilidad, que evitará los tribunales, no responsabiliza a Boeing por la muerte de 346 personas en los accidentes. Los expertos legales también creen que la declaración de culpabilidad puede no afectar a los contratos de defensa de Boeing, ya que el Pentágono depende en gran medida de la empresa. $V Visa y $MA Mastercard extienden los límites a las tarifas de tarjetas no pertenecientes a la UE. $AAPL Apple autoriza la aplicación de mercado de Epic Games en Europa.

This week, Jeff and Dave discuss the Denzel Washington cult neo-classic ‘Fallen': Films of 1998 as part of our “Random Year Generator” series. I already hate myself for saying “neo-classic”. But it is… it's been almost 30 years! And it's a cult classic because it's not “Se7en” or something, but it's so fun. Dave says it's a perfect movie. A perfect movie!! Wow, Dave. Since we are a drinking podcast, we get the drinks flowing with a few gripes about society, showing up to the theater on time, and the new ‘Star Wars: Acolyte'. After that, we discuss the film year 1998—the box office, awards, culture, and some world events before discussing our film.

This week, the boys are again joined by MATT of our brother pod, THE MATT AND MARK MOVIE SHOW, to drink and talk movies! After Matt, a horror and B-movie afficianado, pitches the horror platform SHUDDER, which ‘Baghead' exclusively streams on, we have a ‘FURIOSA' mini-review before gripes about allergies, AMC 42nd Street, and the human condition. For our featured conversation, we go through some 2023 film year highlights before getting into our featured conversation about ‘BAGHEAD,' so as not to be confused with ‘Baghdad.'

It's high noon for Paramount Studios, one of the most legendary names in Hollywood. In one corner, Wall Street and private equity. In the other corner, talented producer David Ellison, head of Skydance. OK, to be fair, he's partnering with private equity, too. Today on the show, we break down the boss battle for Paramount with deals editor James Fontanella-Khan. Also we talk about sports.

On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by the Los Angeles Times's Ryan Faughnder (read and sign up for his newsletter here!) to discuss Netflix's big data change, why some in Hollywood are hoping for David Ellison to take over Paramount (though shareholders have a different view), and more. If you liked what you heard, share this episode with a friend!
Kim Masters and Matt Belloni dive into the challenges faced by legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola as he struggles to find distribution for his self-financed passion project, Megalopolis. The Banter partners also take a look at the risks behind David Ellison's bid to acquire Paramount parent company National Amusements. Plus, Eric Deggans speaks to comedian Mike Birbiglia and documentary filmmaker Eddie Schmidt about their new special, Good One: A Show About Jokes. They share how they approached adapting a popular Vulture podcast into their Peacock special, and talk about sticking with the truth in autobiographical comedy following allegations that Hasan Minaj falsified elements of his award-winning special Homecoming King.
