I like that he doesn't care much for universe building or crossovers, and just wants to tell an interesting story in these franchises. His take on Swamp Thing as a horror noir Frankenstein-like sounds like fun.
He's such an awesome director, I really wish we got the Boba Fett film it sounds absolutely SICK! Disney really shouldn't have cancelled that and Obi-Wan.
Yeah...I may sound like a heretic, but I would have taken that Boba Fett film over anything Mando and Baby Yoda. But alas...seems they try to get rid of Boba at the moment. Sad that there is no way we will ever see this movie...
@@SandraOrtmann1976 I mean Mando is just a reskin of Boba I wouldn't call ya a heretic lol, I'm semi happy with star wars ATM but Boba was a big let down.
Walking out of the theater after Logan, my head felt as if I experienced the Civil War, WW2 and the Roman War altogether in a two-hour time frame. For a movie to capture you , take you somewhere unfamiliar, enthrall you with emotional complexes, is simply a work of MASTERY & GENIUS. Wanting to be in film school since a kid, James no doubt is the Director I always longed to be
I haven’t seen Indy 5 yet. I considered waiting until streaming to watch it because I was so disappointed with Crystal Skull. Watching this interview has caused me to change my mind. I’m seeing Dial of Destiny this weekend.
I absolutely loved Indiana Jones - dial of destiny. Every minute of this 156 minute film was gripping, humorous and really soulful. Harrison Ford at his best and what a brilliant ensemble cast.
@@Robster-1970 I blame the culture we live in. Our reliance on art house centric critics as well as the politically charged voices (both conservative and liberal online). The movie wasn’t 100% perfect, but then again the only one to my eyes that was 100% perfect, and James Mangold admits this, is Raiders of the Lost Ark (Because it brought us into this world for the first time)
Thank you Josh Horowitz for this series. Im not a fan of podcasts - my neuro divergence needs to see who is speaking 😂 so I'm enjoying this series. Im aware you have a certain audience, yet I'd love to see artists from other countries interviewed. South Korea, Australia and other places perhaps. I guess its a bit more niche I do enjoy your questions and the relaxed tone. 💜
Indy will be fine, despite the toxic fandom wanting it to fail. (How f*cked up do you have to be to _want_ a film to fail, unless it's a truly awful piece of crap?) It made half its budget back in one weekend. It will make money. Not previous Indy films kind of money, but enough. And then more than make that back on all the people who won't go to the theatre but will inevitably rent it on VOD. The fanboy rage will be amusing. The toxicity since the last one and against the Rings of Power (which isn't great theatre, but isn't a crime against humanity either) has been shocking to me, a longtime fan of both IPs. Like, find something better to do with your life, you overwhelmingly middle-aged fanboys. You know that outrage culture generates clicks and therefore $$$, which is the same thing you accuse these IPs of doing. And don't you have anything better to do with your lives, like fulfilling careers or raising children? The unfortunate answer is, probably not. It's disgusting and worse, it's stupid.
Indy 5 is so much better than some (perhaps incentivized?) vloggers would have you believe. I'd say the the third or joint second best one in the series.
I am a firm believer in the motto that you cannot please everyone, but this IJ movie just didn't capture what I was looking for in a IJ movie. IJ movies for me as farfetched as they were were somehow grounded in reality and this one went too far seemingly since the inception.
Then why don’t you do some research before you talk about someone you know nothing about? He’s a credible interviewer who’s been doing this for a decade. This is his job to interview people no matter the quality of the film they’re talking about. So because you don’t like the new Indiana Jones you dislike the people that are hired to talk to the filmmakers about it? You’re a loser. That’s like ordering a food you’ve never tried before and if you don’t like it you complain about the server, who had nothing to do with the making of the food. Grow up, it’s a movie.
I love James Mangold but he missed the mark with Indy 5. It happens to the best of directors. The thing with Indy franchise is that it is pure escapism, no one is looking to shed tear or get a lesson on aging in these films. That's what dours the experience for me.
He missed the whole point of Indiana Jones. He’s a good director, but all his stuff is so bleak and absolutely the wrong choice for this particular movie. Great interview though, Josh, as always
The *fans* are divisive? Talk about gaslighting. You literally had a new character audiences don’t know or care about verbally abusing and beating up an old man for 2 1/2 hours.
It's so annoying to listen to these two go on and on as though Indy 5 was volunteer work or a passion project for Mangold. He was compensated with a massive paycheck. Maybe for the last time if the movie industry learns a lesson from this mega-fail.
Thanks for watching! Make sure to subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any of my chats!
I’m so happy that he’s directing Swamp Thing! He’s such an interesting character that I know James will do justice to
James Mangold is such a G.
I like that he doesn't care much for universe building or crossovers, and just wants to tell an interesting story in these franchises. His take on Swamp Thing as a horror noir Frankenstein-like sounds like fun.
This was an awesome interview! Love hearing James Mangold talk about his ideas and views on how he approaches his movies.

Would love to see Mangold and Jackman work together again. They always bring magic to the screen.
One of my favorite episodes as of late. Can listen to Mangold talk all day.

I love listening to James talk! So much insight!!!
Great job James going back again this Sunday for my 2nd viewing the whole family enjoyed it sir thank you
Mangold is awesome.
Thank u mr mangold for Logan as wolverine is my fav marvel hero and that just made me love him even more.

I loved indy5. I love helena. I love indy. I love the story they told. Its a very good epilogue. Its not "another" indy film.
Nice job! Love the content. 🤘🏽
I loved The Dial of Destiny!!! Don't listen to the haters or frustrated critics. JUST GO to the movies!!!
Lol. Are you 3 years old?
@@FuKunttHe does not know the character of Andy. Destiny is the destruction of the Indiana Jones series. How time travel is impossible
I just saw the movie. I really liked it. Had a great time watching it.
Lol.
I absolutely loved Indiana Jones - dial of destiny. Every minute of this 156 minute film was gripping, humorous and really soulful. Harrison Ford at his best and what a brilliant ensemble cast.
I agree. I have already seen it twice. I don't understand the hate being thrown at it by many, many people.

Saw Indy last night and it's AMAZING ❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Lol

Wow! Wow! Wow! An amazing task that could NOT have been done BETTER-
Wonderful!
Oh yes...hearing him speak, regardless of how Indy goes at box office, please do Star Wars and tell Disney to p*ss off with release date pressure.

I agree. At a minimum, it’s the third best. Really loved it.
Lol.
Finished watching Dial of Destiny. It obv doesn’t beat the original trilogy, but I at least liked it more than Crystal Skull. Thank you James!
It didn’t need to beat the original trilogy. It just needed to sit perfectly alongside them
Great direction he has taken words to film. Indiana Jones will be a classic.
AHAHAHAHAHAH
A James Mangold gothic horror adaptation of Swamp Thing similar in vein to OG Robocop? I'd buy that for a dollar!
Timmy
Oh, this guy gets Swamp Thing
I loved it. I absolutely loved it.
I might have liked more of Banderas’ character, and Sallah. But other than that, it was magnificent.
The take on 'fan service' is the only relevant take. Anything added on to currently exeisting lore is fan service.
Only sad and confused

Honestly, he couldn't have created a worst flick if he tried, "Dial of Disaster"
I don't know who this guy is that does the podcast. He looks like he's 16 and seems to know James, etc. I sense a nepo baby.

Jebus, this film was a slog. Wanted to love it, but it was joyless, too long and made Indy a broken, depressed old man waiting to croak
He made the worst of all the Indie movies. I can't see them giving him money for a Star Wars movie.
This must be the worst Indiana Jones movie imaginable.

This guy destroyed Indiana Jones. 😢
Dial of destiny was simply horrorific. And i imagine his star wars will be just as bad.
All I’ve heard is it’s terrible.
