And in the Mailbag, we talk about trailers that ruined big twists in movies.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it).   In the News: No, The Characters in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Aren’t Speaking English Jessica Williams Joins ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel; Nicolas Flamel and More Are Cast Disneyland ‘Spider-Man’ Ride Revealed In New Patents   Disney Plans to Produce Original Content for Their Streaming Service ‘Fast and Furious’ Spin-Off with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham Arrives in 2019; Shane Black Could Direct ‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ Trailer: John Boyega Leads a New Generation of Jaeger Pilots   In The Mailbag: Ed in St. Paul, Minnesota writes in “Your spoiler conversation had me think of a story from this summer.  I showed my 11 year old son and 12 year old daughter (both massive budding film geeks) the first 2 Terminator movies.  They really liked the first, and we watched T2 a couple days later.   Leading up to T2, I didn't let them watch a trailer, or even read the back of the DVD packaging.  I brought them into it cold.  They had no idea that Arnold's Terminator was going to be a good guy.  When he protects John for the first time in the shopping mall, and fights the T-1000, their jaws dropped.  They were shocked.  My son jumped up with his hands in the air and started running around yelling "YES! YES! YES!"  (Guess what he's going to be for Halloween this year?)   The "twist" that Arnold was a good guy was thrilling for them, and they loved it.  Great experience for them. The funny thing is, I was 16 when T2 came out, is that this wasn't ever a "twist".  Everybody knew when they saw T2 that Arnold was the good guy.  I don't think a single person in 1991 walked into the theater without knowing that.  Cameron does structure it so that it could be a surprise.  He doesn't give it away, although if you really think about the biker bar scene it's pretty obvious.  But knowing the twist didn't diminish the enjoyment or love of the movie.  It's always been one of my favorite action movies of all time. But in terms of your conversation about coming into the movie "pure", this is an example of some real benefit and joy that came from that.  Knowing the twist (that wasn't really a twist) didn't ruin the movie for anyone, but man did it add to the experience for them.   Can you think of any other "twists" that everybody knew about going in, where the movie could of benefited from viewers coming in blind?”   Peter’s Picks: Castaway, Terminator Salvation and Terminator: Genysis, (Passengers on the other hand?), 10 Cloverfield Lane?

On the October 6, 2017 episode of /Film Daily, Peter Sciretta is joined by Hoai-Tran Bui and Brad Oman to talk about the latest news including Netflix prices, Westworld season 2, V For Vendetta the tv series, Tyrese and the delay for Fast 9, and Bride of Frankenstein has been postponed, is the Dark Universe dead? And in the Mail Bag, we address some questions that arose from our discussion about spoilers on yesterday’s podcast.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it).   In the News: Netflix is Raising Its Prices Again ‘Westworld’ Season 2 May Introduce More Parks, is Still Confusing Ed Harris ‘V For Vendetta’ May Become a TV Series Tyrese Blames The Rock For ‘Fast 9’ Delay on Instagram ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ Postponed; Is the Dark Universe Dead?   In The Mailbag: Sherwin V from the Bay Area writes “Regarding the podcast on the Rise of Spoiler Culture, I was a bit surprised on your stance on the matter. However, given that you cover film news, spoilers come with the territory of the job so I do understand how you might have developed into that position.  I feel that there were 2 topics discussed and should be treated separately from each other.  1: The film is no good if you know key elements of it going in.  I agree with both you and HT that the quality of the film doesn't change. A well crafted film is what it is. Spoilers do not change that.   However...  Keeping a lid on spoilers is about preserving the experience, which lead to:   2: Knowing a death or twist is coming doesn't matter. Disagree with this completely. Knowing major elements going into a film changes how you view the movie. The context changes. Watching The Sixth Sense a second time after you know the twist, is a totally different experience. Rather than watching things unfold, you're instead watching for clues/interactions as to how the twist works or is justified. Circling back to preserving the experience...  Magic. I know you are a huge fan of magic and practice it.  How would you feel if the veil of secrecy around every single magic trick that exists was lifted?  Would it still be magic if the whole audience knew what was coming or how it was done? Sure, if done well, it's still a great trick as with a great film. When the viewer knows what's coming though, the wonder and magic are just less special.   Would love to hear your thoughts on this, whether by podcast response or reply email.”   To submit questions to the mailbag, send them to peter@slashfilm.com.
