Gone are the days when a crowdpleaser like THE FUGITIVE could stand toe-to-toe against films like Schindler's List and The Piano come awards season but, hey, this is why we love The 90s - arguably Tommy Lee Jones' decade.

It's the seventh anniversary of the release of The Last Jedi, and with a little distance from the discourse, the evidence is clear - by box office dollars, ticket sales, DVD sales, critics ratings, and audience surveys, TLJ is one of the most successful Star Wars movies of all time. And that's even when you consider the kind of storytelling corner Rian Johnson was backed into by J.J. Abrams and The Force Awakens. We'll talk about those measures, the movie itself, and the moment it got caught up in that has tainted honest discussion of the movie. We'll also touch on the current United HealthCare situation, the Iraq War, the Howard Stern autobiography, Battlestar Galactica, and more. Punch it! Enjoy the show?

In episode 234 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Jonathan Lee. Jon is currently a Creative Director at an advertising agency and the Founder of mental health initiative The Life Jacket (TLJ). After Jon's friend Alex took his own life in 2023, he wanted to create a new suicide prevention tool that would have intervened in the period building up to Alex's death. Jon tragically discovered Alex had been researching suicide methods online for a year prior to when he did it. Jon then created an initiative in partnership with R;pple Suicide Prevention and The Life Jacket was born. The Life Jacket aims to give people the skills, knowledge and confidence to take action and turn someone else's life around. In the UK alone, there are over 1.2 million internet searches every month on how one can take their own life. TLJ work with organisations, alliances, universities and schools to reduce the number of lives lost to suicide through collective, preventative action. To launch the platform, 17 life jackets were placed in locations around the UK, with each jacket dedicated to someone who has tragically lost their life to suicide. In this episode, we discuss the journey of The Life Jacket, what Jon wants to achieve with it, the bubble which exists in some mental health spaces and how Jon wants to break out of that. We also discuss his plans for the future including workshops and international Life Jacket chapters across the world. For Jon's mental health, we discuss the impact that Alex's suicide had on him and his mental health, why he wanted to take that grief and turn it into TLJ and how we can positively intervene and spot the signs of a man or anyone when they are suicidal.

“Platforms harmonize and standardize without restricting. By standardizing, they actually enable and allow people to do more things." Gregor Hohpe is back again for the second episode with his latest book “Platform Strategy”. In this episode, Gregor discussed in-depth about building platforms with a proper platform strategy. He began by describing what a platform is from a few different perspectives, the benefits it brings, and what strategy we should think about when building a platform. Gregor also emphasized the opposite difference between platforms and IT services, with the key difference of how a platform thrives with more scale. We then had a few fun discussions discussing building a platform on top of a cloud platform, the key skillset we need to build a good platform, and how we should build a proper platform abstraction. Towards the end, Gregor also covered the recent trend of building developer platforms and business capability platforms. Also, do not miss Gregor's fun analogy of fruit basket vs fruit salad when explaining a good platform strategy.   Listen out for: Strategy Book Series - [00:05:39] Definition of Platform - [00:07:58] Platform Benefits - [00:12:09] Platform Strategy - [00:17:25] Platform vs IT Service - [00:20:47] Platform Thrives With Scale - [00:25:39] Cloud Platform-Based Platform - [00:29:36] Skillset for Building Platform - [00:36:44] Abstraction, Not an Illusion - [00:44:19] Fruit Salad vs Fruit Basket - [00:47:32] Developer Platform - [00:51:34] Business Capability Platform - [00:55:48] 3 Tech Lead Wisdom - [00:59:31] _____ Gregor Hohpe's BioGregor Hohpe advises CTOs and senior IT executives on IT strategy, cloud architecture, and organizational transformation.

If you play The Empire Strikes Back backwards, will you hear the wind whispering "Luke?" Are the gentle climaxes on Cloud City byproducts of calculated sensory deprivation?

Today's guest is Camila Quiñones -- writer, host of Beings of the Galaxy podcast, and one of my favorite people to talk Star Wars with.

Dirge-like quality. 1:34:08 - Question for people who watched ESB in theaters in 1980.

We talk about the child trafficking/devious activities present on Daiyu as well as the racism elements from the show that seem to be seeping into the real world (oh boy, another TLJ controversy!)

Keep up the great work. My question: How good does TROS have to be to bring some of the fanbase back after TLJ? I worry no matter what people won't give it a chance. What are your thoughts? 2.) Jamie Holbeche - Hey Brian, just started a Star Wars society at my university. I'll definitely be sure to recommend this podcast to them all as this is the best podcast I've found as of yet. Just a really quick question about Triple Force Friday. What do you think of all the merchandise coming out? I love the look of them personally. Especially the Funko Pops.

Eddie Rios - Greetings my friend! Love your podcast. I listen to every episode you produce usually in my car on my way home from work. Keep up the good work. With the announcement of the ObiWan series do you think we'll see a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine? Its good to know you are slowly building more followers. You deserve it. Peace. 2.) Kylie Burns - Hey there Brian! Big fan here. Been listening to your content since The Force Awakens came out. I love how your channel has grown and wanted to say congrats on your little youngling coming soon! I did not like TLJ. If you can rebuttal any of the following I am open to looking at it differently. It's stupid to have a droid say the famous line "I have a bad feeling about this." It was totally out of character for Luke to just drop everything and go into hiding. We've never heard of ships using fuel before the Disney era. Force communication didn't kill Luke and Leia in ESB, why did it kill Luke in TLJ? When was it established that Force ghosts could interact with the physical world? Why were the turbolaser beams from the Finalizer arching in space? Why is Leia all of a sudden able to use the Force to save herself when we've never seen her use it before? I'd like to hear your opinion on these topics, and how you can still call it a SW movie with those flaws. Keep up the great work Brian! 3.) Rose Cooper - Brian, today is my birthday! Hoping to get a question on the show. In your opinion what is the best expanded universe scene in any book, and what is the best scene in all of canon (book, movie, anything)? 4.) Todd Marsh - Hey Brian I have a question for your podcast. I know you enjoy the new canon quite a bit. But what is the biggest drawback in your opinion of a connected universe? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Sean answers your Marvel questions!4:37 Alex WardHey Sean! I have a couple Fox X-Men questions before that iteration of the franchise is gone forever. 1) Is there any part of you that's excited to see Dark Phoenix just knowing it's the last time we'll see this version of the characters? While the marketing has been lackluster, they truly have the freedom to do anything with these characters, knowing this is the last time they'll be working with these characters. Does the "nothing left to lose" idea excite you about this movie at all? Also, do you think there will be anything in this film that will sort of indirectly nod toward a "goodbye" message or something, sort of how TLJ had a lot of meta-messages to the audiences? I.e. "Let the past die; kill it if you have to."9:40 Alex WardDid you see the interview with Sophie Turner where she (bravely) admits that she won a recent role over a better actress simply due to the fact that she had more followers on social media? Do you think this was Dark Phoenix? What do you think about this concept of casting, and do you think star power is something studios like Fox, as opposed to Disney, are overly concerned with, and maybe that contributes to their wavering success?13:43 Woo S! KimI have been doing some research Sean on some of the more cosmic beings in Marvel Comics do you think in “The Eternals,” “Fantastic Four,” “Guardians of The Galaxy,” or if Mr. McKay does get to his Silver Surfer film will there ever be references and will we ever see The Fulcrum or The One Above All in the MCU? My biggest issue with either of these is people that aren't hardcore geeks will obviously think and or say “Where were these two when Thanos turned half the universe to ash?”15:24 Woo S! KimThinking back to 2012-2013 what did you think was more likely to happen as a result of the success of Marvel Studios, Spider-Man coming home first like most people did and in a way that's how that went down or X-Men and Fantastic Four? Did you ever think back in the day what is happening now, was going to happen potentially this quickly?17:40 Woo S! KimWhat I have seen from people on the internet and this is not a spoiler that Phil Coulson's appearance in “Captain Marvel” was well received, how likely of a possibility do you believe that Coulson will be brought back into the MCU films and if he does, the character may not even hint at Agents of SHIELD, my feeling is Kevin Feige really likes the character of Phil Coulson and the performer Clark Gregg because there is no real story reason to bring Coulson into “Captain Marvel,” what are your thoughts?21:13 AlexSean, what do you make of Kinberg's lastest comments about the Disney-Fox deal and its possible implications on the future of the franchise? Kinberg pointed out he's pals with Feige so I wonder if Feige would bring him on board the MCU X-Men as a producer or do you think there's no chance in hell Mr. Kinberg is touching the property  in anyway again  after Dark Phoenix? 23:38 AlexKevin Feige has said that Captain Marvel is the strongest person in the MCU. But do you ever see that changing thanks to the Fox-deal and the numerous other powerful characters that Marvel will be getting back after it closes like Silver Surfer &  Galactus?25:10 AlexWhat aspect of the Fantastic Four and X-Men comics that you never loved  and hope the MCU either avoids or improves on?26:39 AlexSean, would you say the marketing for Dark Phoenix has been the strangest and worst you've seen in superhero movies(or does that honor still go to Fan4stic) and do you think the Disney-Fox deal has played a factor in how Fox has chosen to market the film? It really feels to me that this movie is never going to come out. I mean can you think from the top of your head an example of a director confirming a death that people already suspected immediately after the trailer comes out. It's really quite baffling.30:59 David RosenHi Sean, I've been thinking about the Oscars and Black Panther's no win for Best Picture. As you talked about in the lead up to the Oscars, the fact that BP won a number of other awards which were voted on by people who also happened to be voting members of the Academy, like the SAG award for Best Ensemble for example, led you to believe that BP had a very good chance of winning Best Picture. Do you think it's possible that either 1) those voters voted for BP for those awards because maybe they had a feeling that as good as it was, in other Academy voters' minds, it's still a comic book movie and therefore didn't really stand a good chance to win, and so they wanted to make sure that it got recognized somehow and/or 2) in terms of awards, The Oscars are still considered a step above all other awards in prestige, so even though it may have been “acceptable” for a comic book movie to win other awards, the mere fact that it's a comic book movie made it undeserving of Hollywood's biggest honor? Just to be clear, I don't subscribe to any of these ideas myself. A great movie should be recognized as such, regardless of its genre. I'm just trying to get inside some of these people's heads.39:23 BenHey Sean! It seems like Marvel is truly embracing diversity for the new era. It's extremely exciting to me how fast they may go from being a really straight white male centric franchise, to possibly the most diverse franchise in Hollywood. I do think that Marvel is going to pay a price for this though. I think many of people will drop off, either because they are racist/sexist/homophobic, or they are only interested in the traditional old school characters. But I also think that a new, more diverse, fanbase will rise to replace them. What are your thoughts on the coming changes at Marvel, and the possible changes in the Marvel fanbase?43:53 BenDo you think the gay character in Eternals could be Hercules? He was known to have male lovers in Greek mythology.45:00 AdineOn the Midweek Q&A, someone asked about the possibility of a Collector/GrandMaster limited series. I just wanted to share that there is an Infinity War tie-in novel that features the two with the sort of brotherly rivalry type story you were describing. The series is called AIW: Cosmic Quest. I'm about half way through the audio book, and the reader does a great job of imitating the characters' on screen performances. I know this isn't nearly as great as a limited series would be, but it might still scratch that itch for someone who just wants to spend more time with these two45:46 AlexSean, what do you think is the secret to the Marvel's success? Why are they more consistent than other studios  like Warners, Sony, and Fox  who also make superhero films?And do you think Warner Bros and Sony will be able to achieve Marvel's good quality streak going forward?50:22 AlexDo you think Marvel could pull off either an X-Men and Fantastic Four trilogy without use of the archemeies of their respective franchises like Magneto and Doctor Doom. Would you personally be disappointed if Marvel refrains from using them in the trilogies. Opting instead to introduce those character in other movies outside FF and X-Men films.53:07 Alex WardSo I finally got my girlfriend to agree to see Captain Marvel and Endgame with me. We obviously can't get through all the MCU before then, and I know Captain Marvel will at least be pretty standalone, but what movies do you think are the most important to watch before each?

On the December 13, 2018 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor in chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film managing editor Jacob Hall, senior writer Ben Pearson and writer Hoai-Tran Bui to answer questions in the Mail Bag.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it).   Opening Banter: Peter plug's his feature today: Keto at Disneyland: How to Eat Low Carb at Walt's Original Magic Kingdom   Feedback: Mike from Yonkers writes in “Hey Slashfilm crew,  After seeing the officially announced cast for "The Mandalorian", I have to say I'm quite surprised at how old it is. It's the first live action Star Wars property to not have anyone in their principle cast younger than 35. I did some math and the average age of the cast is 54 years old, much higher than any of Disney's SW films (TFA and Solo are the youngest at 38, TLJ and Episode IX at 41, and Rogue One at 44). What do you think this says about the show itself? Do you think some of the oldest cast members have long contracts? I'm not trying to imply anything morbid, just wondering if someone of an older age wants to be tied up with a multi-season show for a number of years.   I'm really excited for what this could mean. With Dave Filoni's involvement, I've already wondered if we'd see the return of some of his Clone Wars characters. Maybe some of these actors will portray older versions of them.  Thanks again for a great podcast! Mike from Yonkers Note: For the averages, I only used the ages of non-returning actors. For example, Daisy Ridley was only used for TFA when she was introduced and not TLJ and IX.” Saul writes in “Hey guys,   Just heard the episode where you discuss Netflix's new Instant Replay feature. I have had first hand experience with this feature. My daughter has been watching Moana or Coco about 10 times a day and there are times where she wants to rewind to listen to a song all over. About a few days ago I noticed that little box pop up that says "Replay Song" and have since shown my daughter that if she wants to listen to a song all over she can just press the enter button once it pops up. Needless to say it's a lifesaver. I haven't seen this feature pop up on any other movie or TV show. I don't know if it's just for the kids movie musicals, I for one am ok if it's just for that.   Thanks for the show.” We asked for observations about the Avengers: Endgame trailer. Brian writes in “The way the title reveals itself, with the Avengers A bringing its own shattered pieces back together, almost like an explosion played in reverse, suggests to me that reversing time, or time travel in some way, is definitely a component of the story.” Jason from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia writes in “Hi Peter and Slash Film crew,  I really enjoy listening to the podcast everyday, and thank you for all the awesome reviews, news, and coverage.   I know I am many days late on sending in my thoughts around the Avengers 4 movie title but here I am. End Game as a title is fine, good, reflects the storyline and desperation and etc. However, I feel what probably will resonate best is Avengers: Assemble.   In all 3 Avengers films, there has not been any “Avengers, assemble!” roll call by any character except for the very close one in Age of Ultron by Cap, but cut right at the moment he was about to say “assemble”.   Calling it Avengers Assemble gives out that positive vibe and bound to resonate with fans who have been wanting to hear that out loud for the longest time. It is also literally assembling all the heroes for a final assault, and assembling both generations of Avengers and handing over the baton.   Yeah, just my thought.   Thank you!” Steve B writes in in response to our Christmas movie argument: “Most films are not just one genre. '21 Jump Street' is a comedy, but also an action movie. Shaun Of The Dead is a comedy but also a horror movie.  In that vein, I say Die Hard is an Action film, a Heist film, and also a Christmas movie. The whole reason John McClane is in Los Angeles in the first place is to see his family for Christmas. Argyle is playing 'Christmas' music in the limo. They debate cutting power to a portion of the city because it is Christmas. The thieves did not pick that day at random. Christmas is a plot point to the film.  It COULD have been written for John to have come to L.A. to see his family for Holly's birthday, or for his kid's school recital, but then it loses something for the plot. Could 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' work as a Christmas movie instead of Thanksgiving? Yes, but it would lose something that Thanksgiving gives to that movie. If the genre (including a holiday) has a plot point to the film, and taking it away lessens the film, then I THINK it's reasonable to count it as part of the film's description.  For these reasons, I think that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. If others feel it isn't, I'm cool with that, as long as they are OK with me thinking that it is.” And a couple weeks ago Brad talked about being at Top Golf and I was sad they don't have one in Southern California. Sean B writes in to inform me that “Topgolf is coming to LA.” Previously Peter asked for some tv recommendations, shows with a few seasons that are serialized and great that he may not have seen. We read some feedback in a previous mailbag, but have received a couple more since:Shaneez (last time you weren't sure if I was a he or a she when you mentioned me. I'm a He) from Los Angeles writes in “Happy Thanksgiving Peter! Great fan of the pod.  I know I'm a little late but here you go. Definitely The Expanse. I wrote about it in the past to you too and you were kind enough to read it out in the pod. Get past the 2 episodes you watched before and it's really good.   Also - I know you want serialized, binge worthy and NOT some slow burn. Look no further than The 100. Yes , I know what you're thinking. I hate CW shows too. They are too campy. And don't get me wrong The 100 is kinda there as well, but good Lord is it super super binge worthy. Esp the first two seasons. I know you long for the days of Lost and you love Survivor. This is like a mash up of both and it's highly addictive. The later seasons lose some quality but I still can't stop watching it.   And Justified is another great show. Unfortunately the first season is episodic with a greater story arc in the background but the later seasons are just too good. That's all for now. Wish you well for this holiday season.” Michael from Kansas City writes in “I swear I don't work for HBO... but especially in light of the sad news about Ricky Jay's passing, I feel compelled to kindly yell at you again about watching Deadwood.  He's a minor player in the cast but for fans it's a treat to see him as a games dealer, nodding to his appearance in Mamet's “House of Games” as well as his magic and card handling persona in general.” In The Mail Bag: Albert Jackson in Texas writes in “On dec 10th podcast said best brisket besides in Austin....  Curious name of bbq joint in Austin that had best brisket ?”Peter: Franklin's, but you can't beat the experience of the Salt Lick Jacob: Franklin's is the best and there is nothing like it. Sorry. Ryan in San Diego writes in “Love the podcast  Maybe you guys will be able to help me with this, I have a hard time keeping track of when new movies release, and it seems like all the sites that keep track of new releases always post a score of some sort.  I consider critic and fan rankings to all be spoilers. I like to go into movies with a blank slate. I need help finding an app or a website with will show a calendar of upcoming movie releases. That just has release date, and the movie poster, maybe with the option to watch a preview for the movies I have never heard of.  Without any rankings/ratings. If I wanted to see a movie and it has a really low score, i might skip it for another movie, so I would rather just not know what others think. Ideally, a way to thumbs up and thumbs down to make a personal list would be awesome.  I have and love the AMC A-List, so I am willing to take a chance on what others may not have enjoyed.  When I go see a Dwayne Johnson movie, I'm not expecting anything amazing, just an enjoyable couple of hours.  Thank you”Peter: BoxOfficeMojo release calendar Jacob: I, too, use Box Office Mojo whenever I plan/schedule /Film stories. Anthony W writes in “Hello Slashfilm Daily Crew,  I have a question regarding the general attitude toward movie remakes. I just don't understand the general cynicism towards announced projects.    I work in the theatre world, where we regularly see multiple productions and revivals of shows. We will go even go see the same exact production if there is an interesting actor change, just to see their interpretation of the role. Or a revival, with the same exact script but a different, updated take. This includes the shows that have been captured on film. Those often spur me to go see different productions to see how people interpret them.   Now of course, I understand they are different forms of entertainment. But it seems like getting a new version of a favorite story should be fairly similar. Is it the Hollywood influence or something I am just not seeing?  Thank you so much, I love the podcast!”   Other articles mentioned: FirstShowing's Release Calendar   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today's show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.
