Creative and technical part of the post-production process of filmmaking

Wie ein Mad Max - Fanfilm im Schneideraum zum Leben erwacht Was passiert, wenn die epische Weite der Mad Max-Wüste auf die Realitäten eines leidenschaftlichen Fanfilm-Projekts trifft? Wenn aus Begeisterung, Improvisation und jahrelanger Arbeit ein Film entstehen soll, der dem Original alle Ehre macht, aber eine eigene Stimme findet? Im Schneideraum entscheidet sich oft, ob diese Vision trägt. Doch wie erlebt der Hauptdarsteller diesen Prozess, dessen Performance hier neu geformt wird? In der neuesten Folge des "Credit to the Edit Podcast" geht es genau um dieses spannende Zusammenspiel. Wir tauchen ein in die Entstehung von "Hope & Glory: A Mad Max Fan Film". Zu Gast sind diesmal nicht nur der Editor Wolfgang Wolman, sondern auch der Hauptdarsteller Daniel Grave. Gemeinsam geben sie Einblicke in die Entstehungsgeschichte: von der ersten Idee und dem Vertrauensvorschuss in ein ambitioniertes Projekt über die Herausforderungen mehrjähriger Dreharbeiten in Drehblöcken bis hin zur entscheidenden Phase der Postproduktion. Es entfaltet sich ein Gespräch über die Kunst des Weglassens – gerade bei Fanprojekten, wo jedes Detail mit Herzblut erkämpft wurde –, über den Umgang mit Rohschnitten, die Wirkung von Temp-Musik und die spezifischen Hürden beim Schnitt von Actionsequenzen und VFX-lastigen Szenen mit begrenzten Mitteln. Besonders spannend wird es, wenn die Perspektiven von Schnitt und Schauspiel aufeinandertreffen: Wie fühlt es sich an, die eigene Leistung im Rohschnitt zu sehen? Welchen Einfluss hat der Schnitt auf die finale Figurengestaltung, und wie unterscheidet sich die Wahrnehmung des Materials zwischen dem, der es gespielt, und dem, der es montiert hat? Diese einzigartige Dynamik beleuchten unsere beiden Gäste: Wolfgang Wolmann Wolfgang Wolmann ist ein deutscher Filmeditor. Als ausgebildeter Mediengestalter Bild und Ton ist er seit 2017 als Videoeditor tätig, spezialisiert auf dramaturgische Ausarbeitung, und arbeitet seit 2019 zudem als projektbasierter Schnittassistent für Film und Fernsehen. Er schnitt den Fanfilm "Hope & Glory: A Mad Max Fan Film”. Wolfgang engagiert sich als Green Production Activist bei Filmmakers for Future. Daniel Grave Daniel Grave ist ein in Berlin lebender Schauspieler, der seine Ausbildung an der American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles absolvierte. Er verfügt über breite Erfahrung durch seine Mitwirkung in zahlreichen Film-, Fernseh- und Theaterproduktionen. Bekanntheit erlangte er unter anderem durch die Hauptrolle des Max Rockatansky in "Hope & Glory: A Mad Max Fan Film" sowie durch Auftritte in Filmen wie "Das Licht" und "Retribution". Seine schauspielerische Bandbreite zeigt sich in verschiedenen Rollen über diverse Genres hinweg. Wer verstehen möchte, wie aus begrenzten Ressourcen und großer Leidenschaft ein visuell beeindruckender Film entsteht, und wer die oft getrennten Welten von Schauspiel und Filmschnitt einmal im direkten Dialog erleben will, sollte diese Folge nicht verpassen. Es warten ehrliche Einblicke, überraschende Anekdoten vom Set (inklusive Beinahe-Unfällen und kreativer Problemlösungen) und eine faszinierende Diskussion über die Macht und Verantwortung der Filmmontage.

From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening. It's the beginning of a new year, which also means the beginning of this year's theme on the Batman by the Numbers podcast; World's Finest. Yes, this year we celebrate the other big DC superhero, the one and only Man of Steel, Superman! As this year will not only bring a new DC Universe to film, but another massive Superman film from James Gunn, so we got to give everyone's favorite Kryptonian his due. As this is a Batman podcast though, we'll also be focusing on how Batman and Superman work, or don't work together. As we all know, they have differing philosophies on how to fight crime and corruption. In kicking off this year's theme, we dug up a gem from the late 90s that explores this theme rather well; The Batman/Superman Movie, otherwise known as the three-episode arc entitled “World's Finest.” This first meeting of the animated series versions of Batman and Superman gives us everything; The Joker. Lex Luthor. Conflict between the heroes. Harley Quinn. Giant robots. What else do you need? Daniel and Kris are joined once again by podcasting director of the pop break, Alex Marcus, as they dive into every detail imaginable with this movie, including the eternal question every DC fan has asked? Who comes out on top – Batman or Superman. If you're in need of not only a Batman animated series throwback, but a Superman one as well, this is the episode for you. Also…find out why Alex Marcus has a childhood grudge with this movie that still hasn't healed!

"Credit to the Edit" trifft "Hinter der Kamera": Ein Deep Dive in die Montage von "September 5" Willkommen zu einer neuen Episode des "Credit to the Edit"-Podcasts! In dieser Sonderausgabe präsentieren wir ein Crossover mit dem Podcast „Hinter der Kamera“ und tauchen ein in die Welt des Filmschnitts, fokussiert auf den Film “September 5”. Rainer Nigrelli und Timo Landsiedel begrüßen dazu Regisseur Tim Fehlbaum und den renommierten Editor Hansjörg Weißbrich, die uns Einblicke in den Entstehungsprozess dieses Werks gewähren. Parallel beleuchtet die Episode des Podcasts „Hinter der Kamera“ die Kameraarbeit von “September 5” in einem Gespräch mit dem Bildgestalter Markus Förderer und Regisseur Tim Fehlbaum. “September 5”, der am 9. Januar 2025 in die Kinos kommt, thematisiert die Geiselnahme während der Olympischen Spiele 1972 in München. Tim wählt dabei einen ungewöhnlichen Ansatz: Die Ereignisse werden aus der Perspektive der ABC-Sportjournalisten geschildert, die das Geschehen vor Ort verfolgten. Diese Herangehensweise wirft Fragen auf: Wie lässt sich eine solch komplexe und vielschichtige Geschichte aus nur einer Perspektive vermitteln? Und wie gelingt es, Spannung und Dramatik über die gesamte Spieldauer von 90 Minuten aufrechtzuerhalten? Diese Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt unseres Gesprächs. Tim und Hansjörg erläutern die Herausforderungen, die mit der Montage von September 5 verbunden waren. Etwa die Entwicklung der dichten, atmosphärischen Erzählweise. Oder wie die durch den dokumentarischen Ansatz entstandene Materialfülle überhaupt im Montageprozess bewältigt werden konnte. Oder wie Schnitt und Musik ineinandergreifen, um die Tonalität des Films setzen. Ein auditiver Blick hinter die Kulissen von “September 5” – für alle, die sich für Film und Filmmontage interessieren. Hansjörg Weißbrich Hansjörg Weißbrich ist ein renommierter deutscher Filmeditor, der seit 1995 an über 60 Filmen mitgewirkt hat. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen "23", "Crazy", "Lichter", "Requiem", "Sturm", "Wer wenn nicht wir", "Zwei Leben", "Nachtzug nach Lissabon", "Colonia Dignidad", "Unorthodox" und "She Said" . Für seine herausragenden Leistungen wurde Weißbrich mehrfach ausgezeichnet, darunter für den Deutschen Filmpreis, den deutschen Fernsehpreis sowie Filmplus/Edimotion. Er ist Mitglied der Deutschen Filmakademie und wurde 2018 in die Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences berufen. Tim Fehlbaum Tim Fehlbaum ist ein Schweizer Filmregisseur und Drehbuchautor, der für seine visuell bestechenden Weltvisionen bekannt ist. Nach seinem Studium an der Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München gab er sein Spielfilmdebüt 2011 mit dem postapokalyptischen Thriller "Hell" (Montage: Andreas Menn). 2021 feierte sein Science-Fiction-Thriller "Tides" (Montage: Andreas Menn) Premiere auf der Berlinale. Sein jüngster Film, "September 5 – The Day Terror Went Live" (Montage: Hansjörg Weißbrich) wurde für einen Golden Globe Award nominiert. Fehlbaums Filme zeichnen sich durch ihre technische Präzision, künstlerische Tiefe und den Mut zur Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlich relevanten Themen aus. Er gilt als einer der vielversprechendsten Regisseure seiner Generation. Hinter der Kamera "Hinter der Kamera" ist ein monatlicher erscheinender Podcast, der sich mit Filmschaffenden wie Kameraleuten und Editor:innen auseinandersetzt. Moderator Timo Landsiedel konzentriert sich in ausführlichen Gesprächen auf die Motivation und Inspiration hinter den Bildern, wobei jede Folge ein aktuelles Projekt des Gastes beleuchtet. Zu den Gästen zählen erfahrene Bildgestalter wie Roger Deakins, Nikolaus Summerer oder Monika Plura. Timo Landsiedel Timo Landsiedel ist Fachjournalist und Buchautor mit Schwerpunkt Film und Medien. Er war Chefredakteur der Fachzeitschrift "Film & TV Kamera" und produziert neben "Hinter der Kamera" weitere Podcasts.

From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening. In 2024, we brought you the year of villains. We ranked the animated series villains, all the Joker actors, and most recently, Batman villains who've yet to make their live action film debut. All these episodes are proof that more than any other superhero, Batman has the deepest roster of great villains. We talked about Professor Pyg for crying out loud. In our last episode of 2024, it's time bring this theme home in style. We're drafting again, and this time, it's all VILLAIN THEMED. While villains were a category in last summer's Definitive Batman Draft, this draft takes the concept of a Batman villain even further, as we now draft specific iterations of villains spanning multiple movies, TV shows, comic arcs, and much more. To mimic one of the great Jokers, “wait till they get a load of these categories.” Trust us when we tell you, we've come up with the definitive list of Batman villain categories. Returning to draft with Daniel and Kris are Alex Marcus, Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, and Randy Allain, co-host of the Pop Break's Pod of Doom, as well as Kris's co-host of the Media/Lit Podcast. Also making his return to the podcast, it's co-host of the Anniversary Brothers podcast, and Pop Break's Anime podcast, Anime x Pop, Josh Sarnecky. Without spoiling too much, we'll just tell you the first two rounds of this draft are completely chaotic. We can't stress this enough; you will be surprised early at some of these picks. We present to you the DEFINITIVE BATMAN VILLAINS DRAFT!

In fact, he has such a deep roster, that many of them haven't gotten the call yet to the big screen. Out of all the villains who have yet to make their live action film debut, who do we want to see most make the leap? That's what we're here to determine, as we rank the villains we want to see most in a live action movie who have yet to appear. It's time to celebrate the bench players of the Batman rogues gallery; Mad Hatter. Clayface. Calendar Man. Firefly. And plenty more, as Daniel and Kris are joined by Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, and returning guest, Perry Constantine of the Superhero Cinephiles Podcast.

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters. Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening. Let us take you back to 2019, when a little movie called Joker was released in cinemas. Directed by Todd Phillips of The Hangover fame, and starring Joaquin Phoenix, this movie took a different approach to the villain we've all known for decades. It was an experiment in the superhero genre to say the least, but an experiment that paid off BIG TIME. Despite the high divisive nature of the film, Joker brought in over a billion dollars at the box office worldwide, was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and got two wins, including Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix. It was a phenomenon. Flash forward to 2024. The sequel. Joker: Foile à Deux. Todd Phillips is back. Joaquin Phoenix is back. Lady Gaga gets added. It's going to be even bigger, right????!!!!! Yikes. By the time you listen to this podcast, the Joker: Foile à Deux Blu-ray could be in a Costco bin behind a giant stack of Cheez-Its in what has to be one of the biggest box office flops of the last five years. Daniel and Kris are joined by the co-host of the Joy Schtick Show, Thomas Craig, as the three discuss this highly anticipated (or maybe not?) sequel. Do they agree with the consensus that the movie is awful…you might be surprised. All angles of this movie are dissected. The cast. The ending. The writing. What worked. What didn't work. The musical element. Was Lady Gaga underutilized? While all relevance of this sequel is evaporating before our very eyes, you'll want to revive your Joker: Foile à Deux opinions one last time, because this is one GREAT conversation you don't want to miss!

EPISODE 56 - “MARJORIE REYNOLDS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 10/07/2024 Most film fanatics agree that after the Paramount Picture's holiday classic “Holiday Inn” (1942), actress MARJORIE REYNOLDS, who gave a star-turn as struggling actress Linda Mason who gets a break singing and dancing in the seasonal nightclub run by BING CROSBY, should have been a big star. However, for reasons not quite clear, she didn't rise into the stratosphere. While she had a very respectable and long career, she just didn't soar to the top, as expected. As our Star of the Month, we will take a look into Marjorie Reynolds' life and career and explore our theories on why “Holiday Inn” did not make her a major star.

Wait a minute. What's happening? Wha- “Winged freak. Terrorizes. Wait till they get a load of me.” That's right! Welcome to the JOKER by the Numbers Podcast! Grab your laughing gas, hand buzzers and pencils, because everyone's favorite clown prince of crime has taken over the feed. You want chaos? Today we're bringing the CHAOS!! Last year we ranked all the actors who played Batman. With Joker: Folie à Deux upon us, we have to do it: We're ranking Jokers. Do we really need to sell this episode any more than that? The Joker is arguably one of the biggest villains in all of pop culture the last few decades. The character has two academy awards on his mantle. Whether it's pure goofball in the 60s with Cesar Romero, or Joaquin Phoenix's ultra serious take in 2019's blockbuster and divisive Joker, he always brings something to the table to discuss, and could be the biggest reason why Batman as a property has stood the test of time. His never-ending battle with the Joker is the cornerstone of the character. They said it best in a little movie called The Dark Knight… “I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” With a topic like this, you know we had to go BIG. Joining Daniel on this laughing gas filled journey is podcasting director of the pop break, Alex Marcus, along with an all-star panel of alums and newcomers. Fresh off his appearance in the Definitive Batman Draft, Kris Ingersoll of the Media/Lit podcast makes his return, along with Amanda Rivas, host of the Anime x Pop podcast, and of course the flagship podcast of the pop break, the Socially Distanced Podcast. And making their debuts on the Batman, excuse me, the Joker by the Numbers Podcast, Alex's former co-host of the Cinema Joes Podcast, Noah Franc, and professional wrestler, Brandon Vice. The panel dive into everything Joker. Can Daniel get through the Jared Leto segment without going on a 2016 Suicide Squad rant? (probably not). Did the Joaquin Phoenix discussion last a long time? (probably). And…who won the title of #1 ranked Joker? We won't dare spoil that for you, but let's just say it was a nail-biter. What are you waiting for? This is an episode where we rank Jokers. LISTEN RIGHT NOW!

Daniel is joined once again by Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, as the two sing the praises of this phenomenal addition to the Batman canon.

Also…we tease a BIG rankings episode for next month!

Will Koby come around on trying to "stop" Luffy from claiming the One Piece? What can we confirm about Joy Boy from that silhouette?? Do we now have a better idea of how the Gorosei summoning works and what their weakness is? How does tying haki into a knot connect to Weatheria? After Elbaf, could be possibly get a God Valley part two, in which the four emperors all clash on the same island? Will Blackbeard go to Fishman Island and/or Wano to get the Ancient Weapons per Caribou's tip, or will he focus on the last road poneglyph first? Why does Emmet look sort of like a viking/giant in the flashback? Is Egghead Island the best arc post-timeskip? What will it take for Luffy to master conqueror's haki the same way Joy Boy apparently did?

From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening. It seems like only yesterday the Batman by the Numbers crew was arguing over which was better; Batman & Robin or BvS. That was our very first episode, as we ranked all the Batman movies. That was two years ago. And just like the Batman franchise, we're still going strong! Welcome to our big TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY episode! And boy, do we have a big one. Even Two-Face would approve. In the spirit of Fantasy Football draft season, Daniel wanted to combine his two favorite hobbies; Batman and Drafting. That's right. We did the DEFINITIVE BATMAN DRAFT! Daniel is joined by his first two co-hosts from the pilot episode, Podcast Director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, and Pop Break Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin to draft the Definitive Batman team. But what fun is a draft with only three people?? Daniel moved some of the batmobiles, bat planes, and bat boats to make room in the Batcave for five other all-star guests! Making a return to the podcast, we have Perry Constantine (from the Long Halloween episode), DJ Chapman (from the epic Nolan rankings episode and infamous Batman Trailer Rankings episode), and Aaron Sarnecky (The Dark Knight 15th Anniversary episode). Also, making their Batman by the Numbers debuts, and throwing them right into the fire on this big episode, we have Randy Allain and Kris Ingersoll, both of the Media/Lit podcast! So, what is the Definitive Batman Draft? Well, we don't want to give everything away, but the crew will essentially draft 10 categories; Film. Batman Actor. Comic Story. TV Series. Bat Family member. Two villains. Bat Song. Best Scene from a Batman movie. And…a wild card category! What is the wild card category? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. With all these eclectic categories, it's no doubt this is the DEFINITIVE BATMAN DRAFT! And if you're worried it's just going to be a flurry of Dark Knight picks, don't worry – we've created some special rules for some of these categories to make the draft more challenging and interesting! We thank you for listening to this podcast for two years, and we hope you have as much fun listening to this episode as we did recording it! And if for nothing else, it's worth listening to as Daniel gets a pick stolen from him towards the end of the draft and has an emotional breakdown, so there you go.

Is the Man Marked by Flames Deuce's or Shanks' theoretical evil holy knight twin? Who has which road poneglyphs at this point? Will the Cross Guild go after Luffy while Shanks goes after Blackbeard? Will Zoro's next major opponent be Mihawk? What if Sabo/Dragon and the various marines like Koby and Akainu will be more like kingmakers, while the four emperors will be the true contenders for the one piece? Could there be a Marine King??

One Piece 1120 is here, and we're ready to talk about it on Rookie Pirate Radio, a podcast dedicated to the world of anime and manga. This week, Jon Negroni (me) and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “Atlas,” a character we end up only barely talking about because the Will of D is just too dang mysterious.

Discussion Points for One Piece 1120 (Spoilers!): Is Edison really dead? Will Lilith join the Straw Hats? Emet is a funny character?! Could Toki have sent Emet (and Joyboy) forward into the future? What is Emet's "it" ? Why would the World Government hunt down people with "D" in their names 26 years ago, but not as much now? Why didn't the Gorosei move the One Piece after Roger found it? Or did they? Extra Credits: Our intro music is a remix version of “Overtaken” from the One Piece anime, cut together by Jon Negroni. Our podcast artwork is by Jon Negroni.

Will it be one last revelation about the Will of D? Sanji tells Bonney "captain's order," which means Jon gets to gloat about his Bonney for Straw Hats propaganda, yes? Bonney using is Haki is FINE, why are people annoyed?! Does Franky have Haki? Do we have Haki? What is the "right time" for Emet to...do what? Is Jon's theory about Emet meeting up with Joy Boy 200 years ago still valid? Where does Stussy go next? To Big News Morgan and/or the underworld? If Atlas dies next, could Lilith and York be our good/evil remnants of Vegapunk? Are the gorosei less powerful in the water? How far from the coast are the Straw Hats right now?

This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “The Most Free,” which has pretty much broken the fandom even more-so than a certain pirate's devil fruit. One Piece 1118 is currently available to read for free on Viz. We want your feedback!

Discussion Points for One Piece 1118 (Spoilers!): OK. How can anyone not see Bonney joining the Straw Hats at THIS point?! Jon affirms the best arguments for this and Travis adds how Bonney's full arc/emotional catharsis mirrors the other Straw Hats joining. Major congrats to Hippo in the Discord for calling Bonney's turning into Nika!! Here are your flowers: (Listener question) Could Blackbeard be after Luffy's fruit? How does Bonney's Nika form really work? We agree that Haki is a major factor and Jon suggests Bonney won't be able to maintain the form for a long time Jon predicts that the Iron Giant will reawaken and join the fight, and the broadcast will thus continue Travis is confident that Bonney's power is her devil fruit awakening, not Luffy's fruit awakening and affecting her. Travis waxes poetic about Oda always centering children and their imagination in the story, so this is well-foreshadowed. Jon speculates that the Iron Giant's internal thoughts are about trying to find Joy Boy at Marijoa. (Listener question) What really caused that earthquake? Was it Luffy turning into Nika and making the ocean rubbery? Jon suggests that the Drums of Liberation causing the Giants to dance is what causes all this, and Travis predicts that this will help the Thousand Sunny land safely. Jon and Travis agree that we're chapters away from the end of the arc, though Jon suggests that we might have more "world check-in" time than usual before getting to Elbaf.

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters. Join host Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor and Resident Bat-Maven, as he brings on several guests every month to share his passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening. Thirty-five years ago, a little movie called BATMAN opened in theaters, known commonly today as Batman 1989. On this month's podcast, Daniel is joined once again by podcasting director of the pop break, Alex Marcus, and making his return to the pod, Editor-in-Chief of the pop break, Bill Bodkin, as they celebrate 35 years of one of the most important superhero movies ever made.The panel discuss not only the movie itself, but all the hype and BAT MANIA at the time of the film's release, and all recall their first time viewing this iconic motion picture. The Batman cereal is even discussed. Yes, Batman had a cereal.Aside from all the hoopla, the crew get into specifics on how they feel about this movie today, not only from when they first saw it, but also from how they felt about it since the three sat down for the very first episode of Batman by the Numbers. One panelist still loves it, one puts it firmly in the ‘meh' category, and the other is right in the middle. The three discuss everything, flaws and all. Keaton's performance is revisited, Batman's characterization, Joker's plot in the film, Vicki Vale, Prince, that big twist all these years later, and an unexpected HEATED debate on…Alexander Knox? Yup, that happened.Whether you love, detest, or fall somewhere in between Tim Burton's first Batman film, this is a discussion every Batman fan must hear. It's full nostalgia this month. ALSO…the crew tease a BIG EPISODE for next month as we celebrate the two-year anniversary of the Batman by the Numbers podcast.

Discussion Points for One Piece 1117 (Spoilers!): What does the name of this chapter actually mean? Why has Yamato STILL not left the Flower Capital in the cover story? Will Vegapunk's message continue? Is the Iron Giant down for the count? Is that really Don Krieg, Gin, and Pearl on Hachinosu? How? Why? Why?! Is this really the end of the arc? Should we expect a big standoff with Bonney and Luffy now that the Gorosei have stopped the message? What is the connection between Nusjuro of the Gorosei and the Kitetsu blades? (Jon's theory) Could the Iron Giant have gone to try and save Joy Boy (or execute him) 200 years ago when he last woke up, meaning Joy Boy was imprisoned for centuries to keep his devil fruit out of play?

Discussion Points for One Piece 1116 (Spoilers!): How does Vegapunk know that the Roger pirates know everything about the Void Century? Did he get some of his info from a Roger pirate? Why is Jon so hung up on his theory that Joy Boy was a fishman and partly responsible for the Ancient Weapons sinking the world? What is Toki's connection to Lily, if any, and could she have brought the Nika fruit forward in time? What if she knew it was hidden in Wano, and that's why the World Government didn't get their hands on it until after Oden died? Stussy and CP0 cover story next? Could they run into Miss Buckin and Marco while they're going after Weevil? What if the whole One Piece situation is an elaborate game made up by Joy Boy, hence it's on a timer? Are devil fruits mythical or more scientific? Or both?! Extra Credits: Our intro music is a remix version of “Overtaken” from the One Piece anime, cut together by Jon Negroni.
