god I totally disagree that the ending of conclave was too much. It wasn’t cheap at all because we didn’t even know he was intersex the entire movie. And if we had, we would have thought differently of him and so would the characters. I thought it was brilliant
A Remo Williams reboot is being developed by Shane Black. And here are my four reboot/remake ideas: #1 Blacula directed by Tarantino #2 Logan's Run directed by Denis Villeneuve #3 Legend directed by Guillermo Del Toro #4 The Entity directed by Oz Perkins
I remember when I was like 18-20 I was telling my father about a movie Ralph Fiennes was in and I pronounced his name “Ralph Phinneas” and got laughed at and mocked for the next 10 minutes
I met Ralph in my teens - he was rocking long hair and a leather jacket, like he had just stepped off Strange Days. Cooler than the priest with the yeast infection...
I would love for one of the modern horror filmmakers like Ti West, Oz Perkins, etc to take on Critters. I have such a soft spot for all of those cheesy 80s/90s creature features like critters and all of it's ripoffs and think a modern spin on it could be really fun.
Conclave So Real just reminded me that a few months before that I made a website called Race2Christ when about who would die first between the Pope, Jerry Falwell, and Terry Schiavo.
Konda random but when they talk about hitching I kinda want charles do a thing similar to his clown short where he hitches around LA. Once as a black man in America and once as a clown. The purpose being ro determine what parts of LA it's easier to get picked up as a clown. Of course anyone who picks up a hitch-hiker in LA is definitely a serial killer so that's an interesting angle as well.
My only problem with "Conclave" is that the plot doesn't go anywhere. The end doesn't connect with the rest of the film. Even the near end, when the pope is chosen, doesn't really have anything to do with the plot points throughout the film. It felt less like a story and more like just a series of events.
Remakes are a bad idea. It's beneath Nolan, and I would have thought it was beneath this podcast, but I guess I was wrong. Are we all going to start pretending remakes are good now after spending the last two decades trashing the very concept of remaking someone else's film? Interesting...
CHRIS NOLAN BLUE THUNDER REMAKE ALL THE WAY. Unironically a fucking kickass movie that doesn’t get enough credit and has a lot of great themes/ideas that would work perfectly nowadays with militarised urban pacification programs still being relevant, I really hope this is the project, very excited to see how Nolan would step up the pretty spectacular helicopter action in the original, and if Matt Damon takes up the Roy Scheider role, who will be the Malcolm McDowell antagonist?
On Conclave, the thing about the ending isn’t just that it’s silly. Cardinal Lawrence would never allow Benitez to become pope. Because he was invalidly ordained. Only men can be validly ordained, even Pope Francis said this will never change. When you’re invalidly ordained every sacrament you perform, like reconciliation like baptism, is invalid. They would all have to be redone by a valid priest. May sound crazy to some, but that’s just how it is. To put an invalidly ordained cardinal in the position of Pope would be like a full scale disaster for a Cardinal. It just proves these filmmakers didn’t do an ounce of research into what clergy do and why they exist.
Really disappointing movie. Woke garbage. Easy to predict what was going to happen. A real shame. Want great pope drama? Watch the young pope miniseries.
Anytime I can listen to Chris and Sean sit and talk shit for an hour I’m in. 😂
Ralph Fiennes is just a fucking force in anything he's in and this is no exception.
Easily one of the best actors of his generation! I think him in Budapest is one of the great on screen performances
There is one exception, and I'm still baffled by how Bigelow got a bad performance from him.
"And probably a dead wife" lmao.
This movie comes out in January in Latin America, where I’m at, so I will be revisiting this episode then.

Viola Davis got nominated for Doubt for what was literally 1 scene! And it was very deserved

Roy Scheider rocks (like always) in blue thunder!
I spent way too much of my life seeing Ralph Fiennes spelled and hearing "Ray Fines" spoken and not putting the two together
It's more Raif than Ray tho.
@TheDemonicPenguin very few people double tapping the F though

Ralphie Fee-en-es can flat out act!

Call CR "ill papa" cause he's got that white smoke
Conclave rules. Also I cast my vote to elect BOTH of these wonderful men as Popes of the Cinematic Church.
Blue Thunder still holds up and is a very good movie. The practical effects and stunts are still impressive.
If this works, maybe PTA will make an Airwolf film.
When the brutal boys meet the conclave brigade
Love the Remo Williams suggestion.

The German title of Blue Thunder is Das fliegende Auge (The Flying Eye). One of the rare ocasions where the German title is better
They already remade the hitcher with, yup, Sean Bean ..
The Burbs remake with Bill Hader to star and direct. Christopher Walz as Klopeck
Fuck yeah shout out to Rad, that bike scene during the dance set to "Send Me an Angel" needs to stay in it verbatim.
I really wish you had touched on my favorite scene… the printouts of the documents against Tedesco
A surprisingly well made entertaining movie
Happy Halloween Boys

I spent at least 30 minutes trying to figure out what a "sharted" structure is and I'll see myself out now
we love the big picture show.
REMO WILLIAMS SLAPS!!!!!!!! 14:05
30:23 did he say sharted structure?

Kinda surprised Speed hasn't been remade yet..
Strong j crew vibes out the gate
Give Amanda her pinkslip & make Chris a full-time co-host 0:22
Preach brother. Amanda on permanent paternity leave till that contract runs out.
fenny has the worlds largest hands
Rad remake would be ace
Hot take: saying there’s a plot twist is a spoiler

SPOILERS ...... The old Pope knew the score. That's why he kept Benítez under wraps. The perfect progressive Pope moving forward. Quality film.
This show is about shit nobody is watching
Yes that’s the point, to make people aware of stuff they should be watching.
Really disappointing movie. Woke garbage. Easy to predict what was going to happen.
A real shame.
Want great pope drama?
Watch the young pope miniseries.
