Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra get right into it this time around — very light on the “hail-fellow-well-met” pleasantries and straight onto the business at hand.
Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra spend some time on the back-half talking about the cinematic iterations of Batman (meaning, Burton and Nolan) and the coming Joker: Folie à Deux, which, if Todd Phillips feels he must continue genuflecting to Martin Scorsese in his sequel, he will have to somehow incorporate his love of New York, New York (1977, starr Liza Minelli and Robert De Niro) as well.
Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra turn in a tight ten-minute back-and-forth this week, a consequence of Schulz having seen two films and two previews, total. He usually has more than that, you understand. But that, apparently, is how the season is shaking out: After Beetlejuice Beetlejuice next week, he’ll be catching the new, animated Transformers film. In addition to all these incredibly important dates to keep, Schulz is also directing A Streetcar Named Desire at the Playcrafters Barn Theatre, so he’s got quite a bit going on in his life right now.
Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, movies, discussion of. That’s the set-up. That’s what they do. That’s what’s done. We’ll let you know if they decide to play off it (introduce a guest speaker, say) or outright abandon it (the three opt to perform scenes out of Samuel Beckett’s Play, for instance). It’s likely they won’t mess with the format like a certain someone does the mic settings at the beginning of each klatch.
Mike Schulz discusses the possibility with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra of an Oscar for Previews, the last Tim Burton film he’s fallen in love with (as opposed to merely enjoying), and the shock reveal that, in the original Beetlejuice, Michael Keaton was on-screen a total of sixteen minutes (get out!), before getting down to the meat of the matter — other movies!
Mike Schulz met up with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra at Awake Coffee to discuss all matters movie. There was no broadcast the previous week, so the trio had a bit of ground to cover.
Mike Schulz discusses cinematic matters with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra. Levora believes Twisters could have used more twisters than it gave its audience. That was last week. This week’s fare pales in comparison:
Mike Schulz discusses all things movie with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra. The haul promises to be pretty light in the forthcoming weeks, as today’s catch shows. Levora marvels over Inside Out 2 having become the best-selling animated film of all time, with $1.465 billion (and counting) on a $200 million budget. We’re still halfway through the year, though, so who knows if IO2 will close out 2024 as the top dog.
Mike Schulz reunites with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra, having spent the Fourth holiday and a personal vacation away from the studio. Schulz has seen him some movies, and by gum, he’s going to talk about them.
Mike Schulz talks with Dave Levora and Darren Pitra about his gratitude that Inside Out 2 is still going great guns at the box office. The film’s animated depiction of a panic attack has drawn plaudits from people who suffer from panic attacks, who say it speaks fairly accurately to their experience (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/23/movies/inside-out-anxiety-adults.html).
