Mini-Water Cooler: Last Stop Larrimah, Mister Organ, Movie Intermissions, and More
On the October 12, 2023 episode of The /Film Show, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about the latest film and TV news and gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what they’ve been up to.Opening Banter: In The News:The AMPTP has suspended talks with SAG-AFTRAListener email: Neal from Missouri writes in: Killers of the Flower Moon is coming up and it is one of my most anticipated movies. Its long runtime at 3 and a half hours doesn't bother me, but I know it has to be a factor for a lot of people. Some people would rather wait to watch at home so they can pause it to go to the bathroom. Marty argues that you watch TV for five hours, but I don't think he takes into account you can pause it. So my question is, why don't we get intermissions on movies this length anymore? Is it because theaters want more showtimes? Is it a creative decision? I don't think a 10 minute intermission would make that big of a difference in showtimes and might draw more people to see it knowing that's there. What are your thoughts? Do you want an intermission? Do you think it would make a difference for the majority of people?At The Water Cooler:What we’ve been Doing: Chris went on a haunted hayride. What we’ve been Reading:What we’ve been Watching:Ben watched Lost Horizon, Mister Organ, The Equalizer 3, Dumb Money, and the rest of the Wes Anderson shorts on Netflix. Chris watched Last Stop Larrimah: Murder Down Under and Halloween Kills. What we’ve been Eating:What we’ve been Playing:All the other stuff you need to know:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
