Midnight Mass is my favorite project of his. So beautiful.
it was one of the best of all time kind
Midnight Monologues was so insufferably boring.
Yes Midnight Mass was perfection
@@derrickpanciera5644😂 that shi was 80% monologues
It was mine too, but then I rewatched Hill House and Bly with my mom and those two just hit home because of the heavy family focused element.
I'd also say that every thing he has done except for the cancer movie, has been my shared number one 😅
PS. Bly is so underrated, even I underrated it for a long time. It is insane how deep and profound that script is.
Haunting of Hill House is one of my favorite shows ever, so brilliantly written! Flanagan is truly one of the better creative minds out there
the ending of mike flanagan shows always make me cry. the character monologues are always so insanely well done.
I didn't love all of it, but THREE episodes in a row were some of the best horror I've ever seen. The twins and the one shot episodes were incredible.
After those, I was like "okay. I'll give Dr. Sleep a watch. He's worthy of attempting King/Kubrick."
My favorite show of his was Midnight Mass
Flanagan seems like a very chill dude, always great to see when talented people are good people
I remember watching Chris’s reviews of Mike’s older projects, and now he’s interviewing him, crazy to see!
And to top it off Mike is executive producing Chris' first film.
Chris has been getting a lot of crap lately, but he's making a movie with Mike Flanagan. That's more than I've ever done.
He has? What has he been getting crap for?
Everyone giving Chris shit are just angry he's not angry anymore. He's a great dude, let him do what he loves.
@@babesters6 for his Madame Web video
@@wespapes2054That's what's weird to me about it. It's not like Chris is lying about how much he enjoyed movies he watched - he just doesn't review a movie if his opinion was negative. In a space so dominated by constant angry voices, is wanting to upload mainly positive content really a crime?
@@AgentMS that to me is so odd. Do these people just want EVERYONE to be angry forever? Not everyone can be angry all the time. It's not healthy for the human body. Besides, Chris' review was so vicious without being truly vicious.
🔥🔥🔥
Very cool!
I'm just so proud of Chris and the rest of the crew of Shelby Oaks for getting such a great filmmaker like Flanagan involved.
Game recognizes game!
Flanagan is for sure my favorite horror director. Specially recently.
Man Chris has come such a long way, awesome to see!
Flanagan has done some really solid work when it comes to horror/suspense. I thought 'Doctor Sleep' was done about as well as anyone could have possibly hoped for considering how fiercely loyal some fans of 'The Shining' are and the fact that it's a modern sequel to a 40 year old movie. Loved Rebecca Ferguson in that, too. And I also really enjoyed 'Hush'. I thought it had a unique take on the whole home invasion genre. And then there are works like 'Oculus', 'The Haunting of Hill House', etc. It feels like he has been around FOREVER and has his fingerprints on everything that has horror elements to it. And to top it all off he also sounds like a legitimately good guy. I wasn't too excited about anything after 'Exorcist: Believer', but now that it sounds like Flanagan will be helming that project...I'm sold.
This was great! I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Flanagan at a horror movie convention a year ago, and had a really nice conversation with him. Anything he works on, I’ll be first in line for. Congrats Chris!
What a fantastic, inspiring, and insightful discussion. As an independent filmmaker I’m regenerated and I’m picking up the camera tomorrow to shoot. Thank you Chris! And Mike Flanagan…you’ve made me see the light again.
My wife is a photographer and incidentally ive picked up on it because of her. Every single shoot, we learn something new. It could be, things we want to add to a contract to protect ourselves. It could be a cool new pose that flatters different body types. It could be marketing ideas. Theres so much involved with creating your own creative product, u can never know enough.
Wow, Chris! 🙏
Mike, thank you so much for being such a wonderful person, each of your projects has a special place in my heart ❤️🔥
Can’t wait to see what you guys have been working on together!
Midnight Mass is the best storytelling. Watching it, it felt like someone explaining my religious trauma better than I ever could, minus the vampires. Lol
All my homies roll with Mike Flanagan! Been a huge fan for YEARS!
This is insane, I was just reading Mike’s wiki page and saw he was attached to your film and I ran to your page to see if you mentioned. Wow, Chris. I’m so happy that everyone is seeing your worth, man.
Can’t wait for Flanagan to finish The Dark Tower 🔥🔥🔥
Man, this fired me up. Mike is the man! Thanks for sharing Chris, you continue to inspire me.
Mike Flanagan is a great example of someone who knows what it’s like trying to get started in this industry and is happy to help someone else achieve their dream. My favorite person working in horror by far.
Great episode, love Mike Flanagan's work! I'm so glad you got to work with him!
What a fantastic voice Chris Stuckmann has. A perfect presence and clarity for podcasting. Also... hearing these two passionate gentlemen talking about films and hearing about master Flanagan's origins is inspiring!
*Imma need Mike to drop everything he’s holding* - even if it’s his newborn baby - and get to work on that “Dark Tower” series.
couldn’t help clicking on it seeing mike flanagan. i am a huge fan of his work.
I have never been this happy for someone I don’t know 😭 and listening the two of you talk about movies feels like a dream
Can’t believe I transferred out of Towson University I would’ve been TU class of 2024 and got to be there for his commencement speech
Very interesting to hear the similarities between Mike's description of his early love of movies and Chris's own stories of how he got started.
Fantastic get. Flanagan consistently nails his projects, original and adapted. I about cried when I heard he was gunning for the dark tower series. Read the 7 books 18 years ago, and then the graphic novels shortly afterwards. I’ve had visions of what I’d like to see, and Mike Flanagan has the closest tone to what I’ve wanted. Exciting
This was very needed. I really appreciate Mike for being so real, but also so generous. Congrats Chris, very glad you’re making your way through that wall. It’s inspiring.
I’m a fan of Flanagan so it’s really cool to see you interact with him like this
Mike is a real/genuine dude, which is rare. Good talk.
I love this interview.
Thank you for this,
Chris.
Very proud of you Chris! So excited for your film with Mike as a producer!!!
Great interview! Thanks for giving us such a great gift.
My recommendation for the Exorcist remake to Mike Flannigan. Start out with a contractor crew to renovate or repair the McNeal house. And, while they are waiting for the new buyers to come to the house; have them talk about what happened with the destruction of the bedroom with flash backs of the old movie. Then the new family drives up to let the renovation begin and Milke Flannigan can do his magic with the rest of the story. Just a good realistic sequel to the ending of the first Exorcist.
Amazing Chris . Been a fan of you since I can remember. Congrats on him producing your film.
I cannot believe this is a thing. So awesome Chris!
I am loving all of this. Can’t wait for the film!
Wow my two favorites in one interview, amazing
What an amazing conversation! Chris, you are an inspiration for all of us indie horror filmmakers. Can’t wait to see Shelby Oaks!
Doctor sleep is one of my all time favorite movies. This is so awesome and exciting for you Chris!
Great interview! Mike seems like a good guy and you can really tell that he and Chris are cut from the same cloth.
This was a great episode. Very casual, just like two friends having a chat about something they love. Mike is great, and had some cool things to say. I loved Midnight Mass, but nothing trumps The Haunting of Hill House, that mini-series is his swan song in my opinion. Nice to hear he’s a good dude, too.
This was profoundly inspiring, not just for aspiring filmakers but any artist working towards their dream
I had no idea he started his career in Maryland!! I've been taking film classes not too far from Towson and I've been to The Charles many times, that's so cool he premiered his first movie there
Good conversation!
Can’t wait to see Chris’ movie debut 🔝🔝🔝
Thank You for this ❤
Mike Flanagan is a great director. Who else could pull off a sequel to The Shining? I don't think he's ever made a "bad" film/series. He's really funny too on his Letterboxd account, I followed him immediately once he joined. Still excited to see Shelby Oaks!
As informative as this conversation was, what I really love about it is that I feel like I’m just listening in on a conversation between two friends.
This is a fantastic interview.
*love* Oculus - watched it recently and it's such a fun little inventive movie. Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep were great too! Keep doing King stories, mr. Flanagan!
I'm Liking And Commenting Again so that you may beat the algorithm.
Mike Flanagan is such a humble person. I'm also a big horror fan
Flanagan seems like a genuinely cool dude and he's really inspiring. Love this series and hearing them talk makes me want to rewatch Midnight Mass immediately.
Love to see this❤
It’s a breath of fresh air watching Chris be so passionate and succeed.
Keep up the great work! 🩷
Great interview! Cant wait to see the film!
Chris, this is INCREDIBLE!
Honestly, you are right Chris I am so inspired. I love shooting. I love editing all my own stuff this podcast right here. This interview just hit me deeply appreciate that.
Flanagan is one of the most exciting people to be working with, well done, can't wait for what you two come up with!!!
Chris review Absentia for all us Flanagan fans I remember watching that in 2013 it was so good I told everyone about it yet people hated it idk why
Chris: what’s next. What excites you most?
Mike: teaching
If I couldn’t love M.F. more 💜
So inspiring.
If you haven't seen Mike Flanagan's first film absentia please check it out. It came out in 2011 and its highly underrated
Midnight mass one of the best of the last decade
Mike is one of my all time favorites…Hill House & Midnight Mass where B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T, and his actors are always incredible. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
PS: still praying for a Midnight Club season 2…
Omg how awesome!!!
Great interview. Good luck with Oaks
Occulus was slept on imo. That movie scared the hell out of me & had me squirming at times & Im pretty immune to most horror!
Awesome interview
This was a really interesting conversation, thanks.
This is so great! Next stop is M Night. Hopefully.
No thanks!
The Fall of The House of Usher and Doctor Sleep will always be huge inspirations for me
Damn, I really enjoyed Absentia. Thank you both for your work.
Flanagan is at the top of his game right now! Pretty much all of his recent projects have been home runs. I'm really excited about 'Shelby Oaks', keep living the dream Chris... 😉💯
THIS IS awesome!!!!!!
Amazing.
This was truly inspiring, couldn’t have came at a better time either. Working on a project and had this conversation about making it different from anything out there. This just reaffirmed that fire of change 🔥 🎥
Great interview.
I want Mike to direct a new Nightmare on Elm Street film if we ever get one again.
Are these ever gonna be available in video format?
I'm studying film right now and it's my dream to make it into the industry so that i can make the films I've been dreaming of for years but im just so worried I'll never make it. So it really helps being able to listen to convosations like these.
Would you rather fail or never try?
I believe you can do anything.
Epic!
His last two shows have been hit or miss
Midnight Mass was fire
@firstlast9846 yeah it was amazing, the midnight club and the fall of the house usher were not
@@brockwhiting9066Fall of the House of Usher was decent in my opinion
His only dud, imo is The Midnight Club. He bounced back with House of Usher.
Go Chris!!
Awesome duo. Now you guys can make Auditorium 7 together.
If Marvel don’t want to hire Flanagan. He should do a Constantine movie for the DCU.
Doctor Sleep doesn’t get the recognition it should. Hope they green light a sequel
It's based off a book so unless King writes another book, I highly doubt it
@@Nova-fh2et They were going to do a backstory of Abra and her family history. The movie didn’t perform well enough and the studio cancelled it.
@@66RainySuper that's just wishful thinking on the studio's part. Stephen King was hot at the time and everything had a tentative sequel/prequel in their daydreams. Remember the third IT they were going to coming roaring out of the gate with?
The Blu-ray extras and commentary were awesome. It makes me love the movie even more. The movie is brilliant. Taking a book and movie and making a sequel when they have different endings. Just wows me.
Nice Chris!
Interview with the freakin' king 🙏❤
Chris really got the goat on
I still want to hear your ACTUAL opinion on Madam Web.
Who cares man? It’s been, what, two months since it came out?
Does him giving his actual opinion on an already bad movie THAT important?
@@shinrodanreviews4322 no, just curious. If HE doesnt want to, he doesnt have to.
Great interview! My one “criticism” (pun intended), was I felt Flanagan was overly harsh and critical of those who criticize a film, and their motives for doing so. To assume it’s just for an endorphin rush of feeling superior seems extremely dismissive. I also wish Chris had followed up the line of questioning with whether Flanagan respects film criticism. It was clear however from that opinion why Chris stopped filming negative reviews.
What a coincidence they just announced Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct the new Exorcist film.
David Gordon green got kicked off?
@@Kcapollohe actually left the project to work on other projects.
@@nickdorenkamp959 thank god. When was this announced
Ask him about The Dark Tower, Chris! Say thankee!
> irregardless
Noooo Chris 😫
When will you review Conon O' Brien Must Go ?
5:58 Tim Allen cameo
I think film criticism as a filmmaker is probably a personality and ethics-based thing, rather than some of the stuff Mike addressed. Quinten Tarantino critiqued natural-born killers, especially the casting of Woody Harrelson. He obviously offended the director and that probably resulted in vitriol.
You could be in a profession where making something is hard but it doesn't mean you still can't judge the end result of that difficult process. Products have many moving pieces so the failure could be because of other factors, bad marketing, budget cuts cuz a major star pulled out of the project, the producers having the final say on the script or selecting the worst version? If a competent plumber sees shoddy work, even if it's hard, he will still call it out.
👍👍👍🎥
proud to say i donated :)
People are homeless. You could have fed a family instead
@@theredmachete5877 Does that mean people can't make movies anymore because there are homeless people? Does that mean we can't go see movies in theaters because there are homeless people? Does that mean we can't ever support anyone making art or other stuff because people are homeless? Where do you draw the line?
@EamonKelly entertaining yourself and giving your hard earned cash to someone else to live THEIR dream is not the same thing, you understand this right ? If you're hungry, you eat first. But if you give your money so some person can open a restaurant so HE can be rich while the neighborhood around him is hungry...I guess you gotta think about your choices there huh. Perspective and priorities.
@@theredmachete5877 What if the business that someone wants to start could help those in need of homes and shelters. Am I wrong for wanting to donate to that?
