What film do you think deserved the Best Picture Oscar?
Big Trouble in Little China
Poor Things
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.
@@maxkeogh9635That’s far too many fingers for me. I’m out.
the Picture of Dorian Gray
Fascinating to hear that Christopher Nolan doesn't put superheroes in his films when he made three Batman movies!
Indeed. Excellent Batman movies they were too.
In fact Nolan defined the Superhero genre
Where did you hear that? If you were paying attention, you'd notice they didn't say he's never put superheroes in his films... They said he doesn't need to - which he clearly doesn't.
@@callum9999 fun fact, Nolan is also responsible for “Man of steel” which probably explains why he steers clear of Superhero movies these days.
Batman isn't a Superhero, he's a vigilante in a costume.
Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar. The year he was nominated fo Born on the Fourth of July he lost to Daniiel Day Lewis who won for My Left Foot.
He was nominated for Best Actor again in 1997 for Jerry Maguire and lost to Geoffrey Rush in Shine.
You both give such great insights. Thank you for shedding light on the world of entertainment. Another great episode.
Cool that Oppenheimer and it's sequel Godzilla both won awards
I loved AI Pacino Richard good gag.
I think if the film is over 2.5 hours, an intermission should be standard. You see it a lot in older films like The Sound of Music. And surely cinemas would make a decent amount of money during those breaks from people buying more food and drink.
Deer hunter, apocalypse now, blade runner, all well over two hours running time...?
On the length of films, yeah a lot are too long but Oppenheimer absolutely earned that length and was riveting throughout.
on lengths of films should be as someone said films should only be as long as it takes to tell your story but that regularly forgotten in the rush for the money
Bring back the intermission. Killers of the Flower Moon would have been much more enjoyable if I could get a drink, have a wee and stretch my legs half way through.
I just go to the bar etc and miss a bit, works out fine
I never understood why they got rid of the intermission. Isn’t the bar how they make money?
When the audience clapped when the guy suggested making 20 10 million dollar movies rather than 200 million films. Wonder if they'd still clap if he then said of course that means paying you less.
Which half hour of The Sound of Music would you cut (2 hr 52 min)? There's about 2 hours of Titanic I would cut.
Godzilla only won because he threatened to take out California if he didn't.
Agree on film lengths. I am not likely to watch anything over 2 hours. Generally long films just have too much filler that doesn't need to be in there and I walk out thinking about all the scenes that just didn't add anything to the overall film.
17 minutes?! Please say this is just the oscars episode and there's another one on the way?!?
The version on my podcast app is something like 45 mins. It has adverts yes, but it mentions Wonka in the title, so I assume they heavily cut down the RUclips versions
Yeah, the bit about air fryers was very thought provoking
Godzilla Minus One is a fantastic film, it is miles and miles away from American Kongzilla
For years I'm waiting for a fasion of films getting shorter - 1h20m, if not 40-50-minute feature films!
Wouldn't it make our lives easier?
Just in case Spielbergs and Coppolas are reading this - I'm still waiting guys!
To be fair to Al Pacino, I don’t think he was supposed to announce all the nominees. Ariana Grande did the same for Best Original Song. I think because they play clips from the Best Picture nominees throughout the show and have live performances of the Best Original Song nominees, they chose not to introduce each one.
Correct, the producers have even said this.
Woody Allen generally made movies around the 90 minute mark, or even shorter. The classic Broadway Danny Rose is 84 minutes. I think 90 minutes is a good narrative length and I can’t imagine many people come out of a cinema feeling shortchanged because they haven’t been sat there for over two hours.
depends what you go and see. I love Allen`s films and they are exactly the right length...at the same time I was so happy when I finally got to see the full 4h10 minutes of Once Upon A Time In America. It was epic.
I don`t think there is a one size fits all.
Godzilla's win does interestingly go into the smaller budget film idea. It was up against these massive Hollywood FX movies and only cost $15 million in total. I'm quite surprised it wasn't up for best international picture too because of the human stories at the heart of the movie. Also there has been people creating a fun clip splicing called Oppenzilla, that kind of makes it look like the sequel
Damn you. I only tuned in to hear about the naked guy on the thumbnail. But alas, you didn't even mention it 😢😅😮
John Cena stripped off to present an award!
Thanks for a great diacussions guys. Some quality control in hollywood wouldn't go amiss. Both in the length of movies and the number of movies made.
Raiders of the lost arc 1 hour 45 minutes inlcuding credits. Perfect.
Bought no time to die on dvd as we hadn’t seen it, it was on television at Xmas but with ads was four hours. DVD was supposed to be about three hours but we started fast forwarding bits then more bits then most of it. A steaming pile of absolute shite( Barry Norman) just rubbish So glad we didn’t get caught in the flix.
T2, on the other hand, every scene is a best scene!
Perrrrfect length.. And somehow it feels longer. But absolutely not in a negative way.
This is also why I bloody love the Coen Brothers. Their films are *always just the right length. With zero fluff or filler.
Fargo ~90 minutes. **chef kiss**
Big Lebowski ~120 minutes **dip me in honey and roll me in nuts**
And the director's cut of their debut picture, Blood Simple. Was SHORTER than the theatrical cut.. How often do we see that..
*I don't think i've watched all their films.. So this rule is for all the films i've watched.
@@rorrt my favourite records were 35 minutes. 16 minutes a side. There’s a lot of music on a 35 minute album. They feel way longer because there’s not a wasted second. A three hour film is a ridiculous indulgence
@@highdownmartin I read somewhere that 40 minutes is the optimum length for an LP pressing.
If you try to squeeze more onto an LP, the needle's movement is restricted and it sounds thin and flat..
A bit like old LPs from Woolworths, where they squeezed about 70 minutes worth of music on. To make it feel like you're getting a bargain.
And it's a happy accident that 35-40 minutes is just about the perfect length of time to set aside to listen and concentrate.
@@rorrt if you cram too many grooves together to get a longer play the wiggles on one groove leach into the next and you.get an echo. Especially so when it’s very loud, look at an LP in the light and see the bands of quiet versus loud. And yes I know it’s one groove really
90 minutes is the best length for films.
And yet none of these films were more enjoyable than an episode of Bangers and Cash
Hang on... Did ABC SuperBowled the clip? They edited the audience camera right after Pacino?
In the confusion they had no one positioned to film the winners when Al Pacino just opened the envelope, they rushedly cut to a cameramen running and shaking the camera trying to get Nolan's reaction
Went to see Dune Part Two yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing. Maybe it’s the exception, but it’s definitely drawing people into cinemas here.
I genuinely think Dune Part 2 has a chance of breaking Titanics record for number of Oscar wins.
What is zempik?
You assume everyone knows the insider jargon.
Apologies! Ozempic, the drug originally used to treat diabetes, now used by celebs to lose weight
Yeah I was similar, I assumed it was some weight loss drug. I don't know if it's unsafe or perfectly healthy or anything like that.
You have to assume that it's not terribly good for you.
This shows you didn't watch it. The best picture nominees were introduced throughout the ceremony so Pacino's job was just to announce the winner.
And Tom Cruise has absolutely not won an Oscar lol
@@J1mmyMack these presenters are really not well clued up are they? A little surprised Osman makes so many mistakes so often
@@tomearle4599 Yeah they clearly don't know what they're talking about so no point watching.
I miss the Intro with music!! Bring it back, Kids.
I think long films are fine, if the content is there. Lawrence of Arabia is well over three hours. I've read Lawrence's 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' that was the basis for much of the story in the movie, and honestly, there's several three-hour movies worth of stuff in there. I really hope someone gets the funding and makes a proper series, maybe ten one-hour episodes, to really capture the entire story.
The Right Stuff is just over three hours, and there's not a dull moment in it.
Now, the Lord of the Rings films, they're a different story. The entire trilogy could easily be edited down to three one-hour episodes. And they would still feel slow and empty...
Apparently Pacino was instructed to just ‘announce the winner’, rather than go through the list of possibles. Several other presentations had a similar brevity.
That's a second mention for Leni Riefenstahl from Marina....
Oppenheimer owes its outsized performance to Barbie, hopefully that's never forgotten.
There was a bit of symbiosis to be fair, I'm not sure either would have done as well without the other
I came out of Dune 2 feeling it could have been longer.
I can see why Trey Parker and Matt Stone took LSD that time... I'd def do that if i was there ha ha
It's all very well to say films are too long but for what it costs to go to the cinema I want my money's worth! If it's less than 2 hours, I'll wait for the streaming release.
Japanese Godzilla and American Godzilla are very different beasts!
I miss the 90-120 minute movies from when I was young, they are all so bloated nowadays
If my partner hadn't been aware every time I drifted off, I would have woken everyone in the cinema with my snoring during Oppenborer. It put me off going back to the cinema to watch Barbie. I'll wait till it comes out on tv.
The fact there was no viral drama is a good thing for sure. It's about time the Entertainment industry matured
but not very.... entertaining though 😂🤣
Gozilla minus one is NOT the same movie as Gozilla x Kong!
I loved the comparison between the Oscars red carpet and Nazi propaganda. 😂
Maybe avoid having the really old movie stars read out the winners!
The points you tried to make about the length of films were ridiculous.
Godzilla is a good example of making a good movie cheap $35 million for that movie.
NOLAN deserved it for Dunkirk.
I don’t like a long film but biopics are different, it’s things that actually happened and fitting someone’s life into 2 hours can feel rushed.
If I didn’t have to walk miles to the toilet and miss 10 minutes of the middle of each film I go and see, I would almost definitely go more often than once a year
1. In the broader context, this particular Oscars had a late-Weimar Republic vibe.
2. Film length? Sir David Lean's Directors Cut of "Lawrence of Arabia" - 4 hours!
I left the cinema desperately feeling that I wanted more. That I was robbed of something. And then I got angry at all those 90 minute films. that. just. drag. Why?? [and this *is* a hill I'm willing to die on.]
3. I wonder if the fluffer-for-reputation film "Oppenheimer" will bring to the fore the many atrocious abuses done by the man, directly overseen by JRO, against those dreadful, awful non-white Navajos and Latinos, who continue to seek due reparations?
4. Ozempic. Lord almighty, have you seen the potential side-effects for non-diabetics? And for those who are?
I LOVE three hour films in the cinema, but for goodness sake give me an intermission.
Ooo - best movie - per minute, on average . . .
I have to disagree with you Richard. I like the longer films because, as long as the quality is still there, you can get invested a bit more and if I wanted to watch Eastenders, I would do that and stay at home. Remember when the studios got involved with Once Upon A time In America and slashed an hour and a half off of it?...it was terrible. I have nothing against shorter films. but a movie needs to be the length it needs to be, and Oppenheimer would be nowhere near as good if you removed the final act.
I've always been interested in the atomic bomb story. The 1980 TV series was better than the movie
Why only 17 mins? Are you trying to move your audience away from RUclips and on to podcast platforms? I’ve noticed in the past, episodes are uploaded later on RUclips than on podcast platforms. I love watching the podcast on RUclips but can there be some consistency please.
It wasn’t Pacino. It was the producer’s decision not read the best picture nominees again.
Yes. He just decided that he didn't need to tell anybody about this huge departure from tradition and expectation. 👍🏽
I wonder, if someone asks a woman what brand do you wear, would it be considered politically incorrect as women are not supposed to be judged by their look, dress and makeup? Or when money is involved, anything goes?
It's not politically incorrect, people generally like being complimented on their wardrobe in absolutely every walk of life
Pacino didn't muck up, he wasn't told to read the nominated films, this has even been confirmed by the producers of the Oscars. Get stuff right it's not difficult.
Using a 17 minute podcast to complain about the length of feature films is peak irony.
its a shame these podcasts seem to be getting shorter and shorter.
Can't stand people who complain about long films "imagine the film opppenheimer would be if it lost the last hour" yeah a much worse one
Al Pacino was a bit of a disaster
At a time of falling cinema attendance, the idea that we need *more* films with smaller budgets seems to fly in the face of expectations. I'm not going to be tempted to go to the flicks 19 more times.
I could have done without the John Cena moment, (cringy) thankfully I didn't see him do it. But I've seen the images, just the thought of it makes me 🤮.
I must unfortunately demand an episode of this everyday from now on. If you two and your team cannot provide this then you are nowt but a bunch of silly bum bum faces. Meh
I don't know if you have watched it Nimona but it was robbed. I feel it was too queer for the oscars.
English people talking about movies in theatres, instead of films in cinemas, sound both fake and thick
fascinating
Yes! Thank you! The last hour of Oppenheimer was bullshit, it was clearly added to give rdj an Oscar.
