The John Campea Show Podcast

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 58 recorded Monday July 10th 2017) John takes the following viewers questions:0:48 Sebastián Lerda - Hi John, love your podcast, watch it daily. My question to you is, what is your take on the Dark Tower movie? Do you think it'll be far different from the books? Do you think it'll be a trilogy and series?5:40 Julia Vermoothe - Just saw Spider-Man Homecoming and I absolutely loved it! It might be my favorite movie of the year. My question is: Is this the best Spider-Man movie ever? How would you rank the existing Spider-Man films? Thank you and bring on the filthy! 9:16 Rory Hogan - Hi John, my question for you is: Do you think all films can be considered art, or do you think that many blockbuster franchises such as Transformers are merely made to sell tickets and have no artistic intentions whatsoever? Thanks!14:30 Bradley Davis - Bradley Davis- Hello John. I think we might be in for a down year when it comes to animated films. The only great one I can think of right now is The Lego Batman movie. So with that in mind, what are the chances that The Lego Batman gets nominated for best animated film?17:58 Callum Morrison - After seeing the news of Daniel Day Lewis' retirement I am curious to know who do you believe can take up the mantle of, or is the best working actor today?23:02 Humphrey Rogers - Superhero films are big. While I love them to death, do you believe they are indirectly to blame for Hollywood's reliance on brand-name (franchise) filmmaking? Many 'original' films have to be auteur driven while a film like Battleship gets greenlit instantly. What are your thoughts, John.

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 57, recorded Saturday July 8th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:19 Miljan Tanić - We've just got Peter Parker as Spider-Man in the MCU but, many people have been clamoring for years, wanting to see a movie-version of Miles Morales. Now since Sony is making their own Spider-verse, and since I really can't imagine Spider-Man villains in their own movies without any trace of Spider-Man (it would be bonkers)... is it feasible that Sony makes their own Spider-Man with Miles Morales?6:34 Philip Jacobsen - Loving the "new" channel and content. My question is regarding the comedy genre. Is the pure comedy genre dead? I remember back in the 90's and the early 00's feeling like there was a stream of gut-busting comedies released every year. Now I struggle to name a handful of comedies from the last 7-10 years that have come close to the comedies of the 90's and early 00's.9:50 Rondale Williams - Do you think Spiderman: Homecoming will out earn Wonder Woman at the box office this weekend? Why or why not?13:35 Ryan Clarke - Ready Player One has been done filming since late last year and is currently in a heavy post production stage. With the film slated for a March 2018 release date, when do you think we will get our first footage from the film?15:42 Hampton Sipper - Hey John! I've been following you for a while and thoroughly enjoy listening to your insight. I wanted to ask your thoughts on the TV show, The Office. I've never heard you talk about it and just wanted to hear your thoughts. Thanks man and God bless!19:38 Kenny Drew - I have a question about who will get directing credit for the both Justice League and the Young Han Solo movies, as they seem to be similar situations. Will both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon receive directing credit on Justice League? And will Ron Howard and Lord/Miller share credit on Han Solo?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 56 recorded Friday July 7th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:59 David Pyle - I just read that the new Tomb Raider reboot has recently wrapped shooting, and I wanted to hear what your thoughts were about its prospects? What are your thoughts on Uthaug's directing ability, and the movie's potential to infuse the video game movie genre?3:04 Trey Davis - Comic Con is coming up later this month. DC only has two movies with official release dates coming out, Justice League in November and Aquaman next December. Assuming DC will be there, do you think they will focus their time on those two movies, or will they also announce future movie and tell us about movies like Batman, Batgirl, and Flash? 9:04 Bryan Kruse - In a recent podcast you mentioned your wife is an exec at hasbro. Im curious, does she get a little offended at you and your former Collider colleagues bashing of the Transformers movies?12:54 Jenny Dunn - I read on Deadline that Spider-Man Homecoming is tracking for around a $100 million domestic opening weekend. That can’t be right can it? I thought it would be closer to $180 million or something like that.16:19 William Bento - How much is/should the message of a movie be considered when talking about oscar consideration? For example an amazing movie that happens to be nazi propaganda.20:11 Pardis Jesudasen - Do you think the reason that Disney/lucasfilm didn't show anything about Han Solo at celebration due to the behind scenes?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 55, recorded Thursday July 6th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:43 Brandon Torres - I am beyond excited for Atomic Blonde later this month. Since it’s being directed by one of the John Wick directors, what do you think the chances are that we see Charlize visit a Continental hotel while in Berlin.3:20 Charleston Thomas - I recently heard RDJ interviewed and he said he wants to hang up the iron Man suit before it gets embarrassing. Do you think RDJ wants to leave the MCU? Or that he simply wants smaller roles in the MCU, like he does in Spider-Man Homecoming?6:18 Kishawn Lewis - Ghost in the shell was no "Movie of the Year", but I don't think people actually realize how successful this film is being a live action anime adaptation coming out of hollywood. I've also observed the unsatisfactory reception of most movie critics, but as a fan of the series do you think these responses could hinder a possible sequel, and is Paramount and Rupert even in talks to continue?8:43 Anthony Perez - My question is regarding this facebook post Sylvester Stallone recently put up implying that the sequel to CREED will involve Adonis fighting the son of Ivan Drago, or even Drago himself. while this idea is all kinds of awesome, it does raise a question...... is Stallone writing and directing CREED 2 himself?12:13 Micah Delgado - Alien: Covenant stands as my favorite film of the year thus far, and Ridley Scott has stated that he plans to make at least 2 more films in this Alien Prequel series. However, the film overall was a box office disappointment, and the critical reception was about the same as Prometheus. With the disappointing returns of Covenant, and Ridley Scott coming up on 80 this year, will we see another Ridley Scott Alien film?15:12 Chris Clough - With Universal releasing the Director's cut of Fast & Furious 8 exclusive to digital, is the studio signalling blu-ray is dying?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 54, recorded Wednesday July 5th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:58 James Phung - I loved Wonder Woman and I would love for Patty Jenkins to come back to direct the sequel. However, I'm setting up myself for disappointment that she won't be back. A year ago, everyone loved Deadpool and it made massive amounts of money. We know now that director Tim Miller is no longer attached. Could we be getting our hopes up so soon with possibility that Patty Jenkins will be back? 9:17 Igor - Please tell me are you excited about an upcoming movie Death Wish staring Bruce Willis? I remember you once said on Movie Talk that the only upcoming picture staring Bruce you are excited about is Glass. 12:51 Justin Fawcett - I've really been enjoying your new videos, Youtube channel, etc! You've said before that you're a digital movie purchaser....well, after reaching critical mass with my movie collection I've seen the light and am in the process of converting 1/3rd of it to digital. (and eventually probably 50/50) I am primarily an Itunes user...but there are other formats that I'm unfamiliar with...Ultraviolet, Flixster, etc. My question is....what is your preference for digital purchases/renting? 17:00 Andrew Odette - My question regards fantasy movies. With the current adoration for Game of Thrones, there is clearly a desire for the fantasy genre, yet since the Lord of the Rings trilogy, we have yet to see any cinematic phenomenons. Is there a reason we have yet to see something as easily accessible as Star Wars or Marvel from a fantasy stand point in the mainstream of blockbusters and is there anything you would like to see from a pre-existing IP? 20:49 Zbigniew Zabinski - Do you think Lucasfilm would take the risk of killing off Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, forcing the newer cast members to try and carry episode IX on their own, without the help from anyone in the original trio? 22:39 Duncan Butler - I know when actors sign up for roles in large franchises like the MCU, they often sign multi-film deals. My question is, does Chris Evans small cameo on the tv screen in Homecoming count against his deal? Or are there exceptions to the size of the role for it to count against a contract?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 53 recorded Tuesday July 4th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:09 Jonathan Stubbs - Please discuss the recent rise of studios blaming outside factors (marketing, critics) in films failing at the box office. 8:06 Tony Dingwall - With Iron Man being a massive part of the new Spider-Man film, do you think the MCU are relying too heavily on the Iron Man character? 10:40 Ryan Peabody What is your favorite John Goodman performance? 12:27 Eloy Vasquez - If they reboot the Transformers movies would Peter Cullen return as Optimus Prime? 14:36 Ulysses Mayorga - Will we see the marvel studios intro in Spider-Man homecoming or just the Sony pictures intro? 15:32 Brendan Day - Who's your favorite character on Game of Thrones?

On this installment of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 52, recorded on Monday July 3rd 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:0:42 The Canon - Now that we have had some time to see the Mavel-Sony deal play out a little, from the outside looking in, do you think this was a good deal by Marvel? We can assume Marvel is sharing profit on some level for homecoming, we also can safely say Civil War would have been a blockbuster with or without Spider-Man, and on top of all that Amy Pascal hasn't exactly made the PR of this deal any easier. 5:58 Steve Rogers - Thoughts on the first trailer for Breathe. I've not heard anyone mention this film once even though it's Andy Serkis' directorial debut? 8:38 Angry Goats - Hey John! I hope you are doing well! My question is one that I know we've all wondered many times before. It's this: will we ever see a Real Steel 2? What are the odds that we do see one? Has it been too long? I think it's a extremely charming, heart-warming film that shocked me at how good it was. It would be a shame to just let it be. 11:26 David Pyle - I just went out to see Wonder Woman yesterday, and was a little surprised I read a lot of reviews about how Wonder Woman was such a strong female superhero. To be honest that is not how I felt walking out of the theater. While yes, the character of Wonder Woman is a complete badass when it comes to fighting, but am I the only one that felt like Wonder Woman was clueless for 90% of the movie? She seemed more like a lost puppy to me until the final act. 14:23 Ben Robinson - Hey John, you mentioned recently that Sons of Anarchy was one of your top 3 TV shows of all time. I recently watched the whole series on Netflix and I have to agree that it's a great show and surprisingly underrated. My question to you is, why do you think it's such a great TV series? What puts it above Breaking Bad or The Sopranos in your opinion? 18:39 Joshua Morris - With Antman and the Wasp being released in between Infinity War and Avengers 4, what timeline do you think it will be? Will the effects of Infinity War effect it? Or do you think there is a chance a lot of it could be set in the past with Hank Pyms Antman and his wife?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (Episode 51, recorded Sunday July 2nd 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:1:35 Charleston Thomas - I remember 3 months ago when Chris Evans was interviewed by Ellen, he said that he'd start shooting his part of Infinity War in May. But Infinity War has been shooting since January or February. So my question is, do you think Chris Evans has a small role in Infinity War? 5:20 Matej Viher - With many movies now taking inspirations from the same parts of history (WW2) or legends (Arthurian legend), do you believe that at some point Hollywood will explore other lesser known events. Personally I'd love to see the siege of Szigetvar put to the big screen. 9:50 Joseph Powell - Hey John been watching your show from the amc days and this is my first question, do you think Jared Leto's performance as the joker was so poorly received because of his inability to portray the character or was it David Ayers inability to get the best out of him as a director? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work. 13:05 Christopher O'Neal - With the great success WB is getting with the Lego movies and the fact that WB owns the rights to Harry Potter, what do you think the chances of getting a Harry Potter Lego movie? Thanks for taking my question and keep up the great work! 16:04 Scott Ring - Do you think Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm will directly address the Han Solo Film Director Controversy at D23 and if so what do you think the best move would be? 20:25 James Raynard - I was wondering if you would see a possibility of there being another movie about Jim Morrison/The Doors being made? 21:28 Michael Alfredson - With the Last Jedi coming out in December, many of us fanboys are of course waiting to see a big moment from Luke. Would you prefer a single but lengthy moment where we get to see how powerful he has become or would you prefer to see him use his skills throughout the film on more than one occasion?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Thursday June 29th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:3:38 Michael Pement - Hey John, I have a question for tomorrow's The John Campea Poscast. Lionsgate just released the first trailer for the My Little Pony movie. My question is, is this movie coming out a bit too late? I don't watch My Little Pony, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's nearly as big as it was a few years ago. Will people pay to see it in theaters? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.6:19 Jon Wheeler - Hey John, as a fellow poker player, what are your favorite poker or gambling related movies? Mine is Rounders, hands down!7:53 Tom Perkins - do you think we will ever see Han, Luke and Leia share the screen again? Granted it's quite difficult now with Han Solo's demise in the TFA and the passing of Carrie in December. But with CGI used in Rogue One for Tarkin and the Princess, do you think we could ever see a return of this technology in a future film, perhaps within the next two saga films as a flashback to when they were all together last?11:13 Cody Reed - Do you think the Transformers franchise would be better off if each movie was around 90 minutes? It could condense the story and allow for more screenings per day14:07 Nikhil Shirsat - Are Marvel and fox sharing custody of the maximoff twins? Fox has Quicksilver and marvel has Scarlet Witch and killed off their Quicksilver. Is it an agreement that they came to to resolve the dispute over who owns the rights to the characters?16:35 Michael Klock - What do you think is motivating studios to pump out lazy, big budget spectacles that don't bring profit? Much smaller budget movies like get out and dead pool made more money and profit than bvs, suicide squad, the mummy, and transformers 520:54 Thomas Levesque - In honor of The House, what's Your favorite Will Ferrell Movies?23:46 Damon Morton - With the success of guardians 2 and wonder women, who is now the most successful Chris? Pine, Pratt, Hemsworth, Evans?

What are your opinions on the trailers released so far?Clayton Scott - How well do you think Jurassic World 2 will do compared to the first one?Brent Fish - Having seen War for the Planet of the Apes how would you rate the trilogy overall? One of the best, okay, not so good? Also with John Wick Chapter 3 getting ready to be filmed, Do you think if the movie is at least as good as the last 2 it should be included in the all time trilogy conversation? Thanks and bring on the filthy.Barry Kowalski - Whats your fave horror movie of all time?

So do you think JL will still have Snyder's DNA throughout with support from Whedon?Kasen Rogers - What are your thoughts on the news of the Accountant sequel and do you think Anna Kendrick will return as well as Jon Bernthal?Redd Dizon - If Sony sells its movie division, are the rights to Spiderman included in the sale? or would they revert back to marvel?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday June 26th 2017) John takes the following viewer questions:Tristan Durant - Do you believe that just to throw the 1 to 3 percent of the nerd audience off about Zendaya's character in Homecoming she really is Mary Jane? My theory is that her first name is "Michelle" and her full name is "Michelle Mary-Jane Watson," she'll shed the Tom boyish exterior a little by the end of the film, dye her hair red or at least a streak of red, and we'll hear her say to Peter the iconic line "Go get em tiger." Sam Macias - What are your thoughts of an Watchmen series on HBO? Tony Willis - Film vs digital? Gage Lee Sweeney Do you have a favorite pick as to who could play Carnage in the Venom solo film?
