MaXXXine is Somewhat Divisive, Plus A Couple of Listener Emails
On the July 5, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor BJ Colangelo to answer a listener email and talk about Ti West’s new movie MaXXXine.Ronny Cox is not dead! Apologies!Shout out to Angelica from North Texas, who wrote us an email pointing out a fascinating connection between the movie Burnt and season 3 of The Bear. Without spoiling things, I can say that there’s a moment in season 3 where Richie sees a fork on the floor of the restaurant, and if Angelica’s theory is correct, it could have pretty big consequences for what might happen in season 4. One Blink-And-You'll-Miss-It Moment In The Bear Season 3 Could Have Huge ConsequencesKarissa from Wisconsin sent us an email last month that I’ve been meaning to get to, and I thought now would be a good time: Love the podcast, and have been listening for years. Lately, I’ve been intrigued by the discussion between you and Ryan about the state of theaters. My husband and I started dating at a theater, and always watched probably 2-3 movies a month in theaters before Covid. We love theaters so much that we had our wedding pictures in a new theater that was built in our town in 2015. However, Covid made us update our TV and sound system at home for watching movies. It also made us less tolerant of bad moviegoers.Talking with our friends, we all agree that we have a great theater. However, we cannot stand the people that go to movies. Movies for us have been ruined by cell phones. Even adults are using their phones and being obnoxious during the movie. Between cell phone light and just rude talking, we barely see movies in theaters anymore. We started sitting in the front 3 rows, but half the time, we still see their lights because they’re so bright.We get so annoyed with it, we are renting a theater for us and our friends to see Twisters in July. I can deal with whispering and occasional talking. I cannot deal with the constant cell phone use anymore. Do you think theaters could do anything about cell phones? I know that would bring a lot of people I know back to theaters.In Our Feature Presentation: MaXXXine Review: Ti West And Mia Goth Bring Sexy Satanic Sleaze Back To Hollywood HorrorSpoiler-free thoughts about MaXXXineSpoilery thoughtsMaXXXine Ending Explained: How To Get Ahead In ShowbizAll the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and TV as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.
