Reginald Titus Jr.: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Filmmaker Commentary. I'm Reginald Titus Jr., I'm joined with Casey G. Smith. Welcome back, sir.
Casey G. Smith.: Good to be back, sir.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And today we're talking about Suicide—no, *The* Suicide Squad. Directed and written by James Gunn.
Reginald Titus Jr.:: 2021, just came out 2021. Um, what was the budget, you know, box office and all the fun stuff for The Suicide Squad?
Casey G. Smith.: So, *The* Suicide Squad had an estimated budget of $185 million. It had an opening weekend of 26 million. And a US and Canadian gross of 56 million, and a worldwide gross of 167 million. Asterisk, this was during the time period where HBO Max and Warner Brothers decided that everything, almost everything that was releasing in theaters was also dropping on HBO Max the same day. So that probably, no, that definitely affected the box office.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, very interesting. Um, I was like going through, because I remember watching it and I, you know, yeah, well I'll go into that later. But I, I was wondering what it did at the box office, and I remember like hearing, seeing on YouTube, you know, people talking about it, and on the way here I pulled up YouTube. I was like, what was the consensus? Because I don't remember. And yeah, it was a bomb at the box office, but what you're saying, you know, with them releasing it, you know, online around the same time with those people, you know, was it called like cannibalizing themselves by not releasing it theatrically? Um.
Casey G. Smith.: Absolutely, because I would have been, I would have been in the theater, well, I had my, it was like two weeks after my stroke. I, I, if under normal circumstances, if it was just a theatrical release, I would have been in the theaters to see it there, along with, along with a friend of mine. I probably would have potentially maybe going back to saw it twice.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Right.
Casey G. Smith.: But yeah, as it, as it was, I just, I watched it only on HBO Max.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And I, um, also too, you know, and one of the videos I was looking at, I forgot, not forgot, but, you know, we're dealing with the pandemic too, you know, so it's like, it's hard to judge what, what have, what could have, but at that time, not that many people were going back to, you know, willing to risk their life at the theater, you know?
Casey G. Smith.: Very true.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I probably would have went to the theater to watch it under normal circumstances, even if it was released streaming and available in the theater. But say there's no pandemic. I'm I'm going to go watch the movie at the theater.
Casey G. Smith.: Probably, probably the same here. I would have still gone. Well, depends if I was in grad school still. In an alternate universe, right? Normal circumstances, yes. I would have gone and seen this in the theater. I think I would really enjoyed it because of all the effects. James Gunn's films, especially at the caliber he's been making them the past couple of years, the spectacle that's involved, definitely is, is worthwhile seeing in the theater.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And then him coming from the Guardians of the Galaxy, he has his, you know, track record of bringing people that we, the general public, knows nothing about and making them, you know, like, wow, this is interesting. This is good actually.
Casey G. Smith.: Agreed. Agreed. So, yeah, but, yeah, not quite the cash cow they would have hoped as, as it could have been. But there are a lot of films in 2021 and even at the end of 2020 that uh, suffered the same fate from Warner Brothers and HBO Max's strategy of, you know, day and date theater and HBO Max release.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, because I mean, you can't push it up. I mean, you can't just keep putting it off years and years and everybody just wait, like, what's going to happen? You know, eventually the movie has to come out, some kind of way.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, there was just too much uncertainty. So it's, it's hard to say that they were necessarily wrong. It's just, you know, it's a, yeah, tough, tough deal.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, with a global pandemic happening. Uh, it makes you think too, like, what's the value because I felt like when I heard the budget, 180 million, I was like, that's a lot. That's a lot of money. Uh, I, I was, I was assuming like 75 to 100 just based on the movie that I saw. And I feel like 185, I'm like, man, they are really kicking it, you know, they're.
Casey G. Smith.: Pretty large cast of, of, of people even. I don't want to dive in too, too deep to say yet before I give the spoiler warning. But it's a large cast. You can, if you saw the trailers, you know there's a lot of people featured in this film. And there's a lot of practical effects too. When you hear him talk about a lot of practical effects that they utilized that may have and in addition to digital, I'm sure that kind of drove up the, the budget as well. Quite a few action set pieces.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Right. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I mean, once you get used to that Marvel money, you know, it's, it's hard to scale back. It's like.
Casey G. Smith.: He was fairly uninhibited in what he was able to do. I mean, once he kind of had his initial fallout with Marvel, you know, DC and Warner Brothers like, hey, uh, James, uh, let me holler at you.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Right. Let me holler at you.
Casey G. Smith.: And they, they gave him pretty much free rein.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, I mean, he earned it, you know, he earned it from what you call, but I mean there is, you do have to be responsible. Um, and sometimes people can kind of. And of course at the time they didn't know a pandemic. I'm assuming they didn't know that a pandemic was coming.
Casey G. Smith.: This, this would have, golly, gosh, just look at that number. I'm looking at that number right now. I'm like, dang, that's really. I mean, compared to what like other films were doing, I'm like, I just, it just kind of really clicked only 167 million. Like the first, let's see what the first Suicide Squad made, which was, you know, critically panned and and and disliked by quite a few.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And I was watching a scene of the older uh, regular Suicide Squad. And it's the scene with Will Smith and he's like testing out the guns and he didn't know that it was loaded. He was like, y'all serious? And then the joker's like, must be crazy.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That was a good scene.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, I, I enjoyed him as Deadshot, Floyd Lawton.
Reginald Titus Jr.: This is I like, it's pretty solid scene. It's pretty good. I want to go back and check it out.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, it, it had his moments for sure. There may be a a quote unquote Ayer's cut floating out there, just like there was a Snyder cut of Justice League, because Ayer's is you know, famously complained about his, basically that his film was chopped up by a a trailer company. And that's why it's like.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay. The whole movie was?
Casey G. Smith.: That's the, that's what the word on the street is, the scuttlebutt, that it was uh, chopped up by a trailer company. So it's like edited, edited very oddly and.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It was. There's some action sequence kinda in, I'm like, what happened here?
Casey G. Smith.: Exactly. They say that's that's what the, the word on the street is, and so there's a rumor there's an Ayer's cut floating out there. But if the new uh, Discovery, Discovery Plus, whatever they're taking, you know, they've taken over, they're taking over uh, a lot of Warner Brothers media. They sold off to, I'm talking about doing a whole DC reboot. So that could squash any of this other stuff anyway. But that original Suicide Squad worldwide 774 million.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Ooh! Jeez. Yikes! That's how much it made? 774.
Casey G. Smith.: US, the US and Canada gross was 325 million. That's already double what the worldwide gross of *The* Suicide Squad. That, that bites.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And what was the budget for that one? The first one?
Casey G. Smith.: Uh, that budget was, let me get back to it. That budget was $175, estimated 175.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay. Okay. Different circumstances. Um, my God.
Casey G. Smith.: So, I mean, yeah, you know, so Gun's only 10 million more. That's not, that's not bad. Yeah. He had, he had more, you know, more people in it and, in my view, he made a better film. Like this, to me, this one is vast, we'll get into all that.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, we will, we will. Uh, but this film did win an award at the Satur, at the Satellite Awards. It won, uh, winner for stunt performance award. How about that?
Casey G. Smith.: Okay.

Recent News & Watched Films
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, but before we dive deeper into *The* Suicide Squad, *The* Suicide Squad, let's talk about news and movies watched. What do we have in the news or what have you been watching?
Casey G. Smith.: So in the news, I just want to uh, share a, a quick report of the unfortunate passing of the comedian and actor Gilbert Gottfried, which if you, you know, grew up in the, you know, late 70s, 80s, even early 90s, you know, Gottfried was uh, just kind of a a a staple, known for his, his, you know, kind of high-pitched, shrill voices is what they use in deadlines. So that's that's a good adjective. Yeah, his shrill voice and kind of just, "What's going on with this now?" You know, just.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. Oh, that's the homie. Yeah, Gilbert Gottfried. A lot of cameos. Problem child, problem child. He was the principal, right?
Casey G. Smith.: Plenty of, plenty of films uh, in his repertoire. Yeah, he was, he was.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I like him. I knew his name.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, beloved character actor, Gilbert Gottfried passed away from a long time struggle with an illness at the age of 67. He's a Saturday Night Live alumnus. He was a part of the 1980 cast. He joined with them. He'd been doing comedy, he started at the age of 15. So uh, yeah, he uh, he passed this week. So uh, salute to, to him and his family and all his fans out there. Uh, Mr. Gottfried, thank you for your years of uh, bringing joy and humor into this world, which is always much needed.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Wow. True. Facts. Wow. Yeah, Problem Child, dude. I remember that.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, he's, he's, he's a legend. Uh, how about trailers? You been checking out any trailers? Any, any that stand out to you?
Reginald Titus Jr.: No, I haven't seen a trailer.
Casey G. Smith.: All right. Any trailers yet?
Casey G. Smith.: Um, you know, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is coming out in a few weeks, you know, in May. So that is on full promotional mode and more and more trailers dropping.
Reginald Titus Jr.: When did that drop? The, so when did the trailer get released for that?
Casey G. Smith.: Oh, it's been, there's been multiple trailers.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, really?
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, yeah, multiple, multiple trailers. And they, they're they're not showing too much in them, because I think this thing is going to be a cameo fest. When you say multiverse of madness, that, that is free rein. There's all kinds of rumors floating out there as far as what might be in here. There's rumors of uh, Tom Cruise potentially playing a superior Iron Man, which was a character from the comics. But decades ago, Tom Cruise was rumored to play Tony Stark in an Iron Man film that was that I think was James Cameron going to direct that, I remember who. But that was decades ago. Uh, so to bring him in, so who, who knows who we might see. There's rumors that Patrick Stewart is, is potentially going to be in it as Professor X and maybe the Illuminati from the comics. So, yeah, it is, this thing is wide open. I think it's going to be just crazy. So, I'm I'm pretty stoked for it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Is it, is it coming out on the platform? Do you gotta pay more for it?
Casey G. Smith.: Just in theaters. Uh, they might do a premium, they might do a premium release. But uh, this one I want to see uh, in the theaters.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, are they gonna show it like, kinda like what they did with Black Widow, like you gotta pay an extra doll, you know, extra amount of money.
Casey G. Smith.: Go to the theaters. Uh, and then the, another trailer that I watched today, because I saw when I was going looking up the news, uh, that there's a a new film that's going to be dropping called Crimes of the Future.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh oh.
Casey G. Smith.: By your boy David Cronenberg.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, really?
Casey G. Smith.: Cause of the, yeah, the headline said Cronenberg returns to body horror. And you're like, huh?
Reginald Titus Jr.: I'm with it. I'm with it. I'm with it.
Casey G. Smith.: Check that trailer. I was like, whoa, I got a little like, I don't, I don't know.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Is it like in the same vein of like Minority Report kinda thing?
Casey G. Smith.: Uh, no. I would say no. The film is set in the future with people who are kind of into like passionate stuff, like, not quite S&M or you could say like S&M, but you go to next level where they're, they're cutting themselves. And that's like their form of like pleasure. And apparently it's going to like escalate and get bad. Like, sadistic body horror, like, oh. So yeah, that's Crimes of the Future. Is the new Cronenberg for your grossness.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yikes.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, yeah. So that's uh, a little bit of uh, trailers.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I watched the, the most recent episode of Atlanta.
Casey G. Smith.: Likewise.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. What can I say? The, it's so the genre that this is playing that Donald Glover is playing in, it's they're calling it Afro-surrealism, and I'm with it.
Casey G. Smith.: Yes.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Like I'm drawn to weird stuff and I didn't under, I didn't really understand why I liked it and or why it was weird. And then there was this YouTube um, channel of this guy who breaks down all kinds of films. And he broke that down with like the actual manifesto of Afro-surrealism and how this is Afro-surrealism. So, like, yeah, this is, what did you think about the most recent episode?
Casey G. Smith.: The show, the show is so smart. Like every episode is a bit of a mystery. There's there's there's some kind of mystery or or McGuffin or or something that is off. And you don't know what what it is or how it's going to work out, and it's, it, it, it doesn't ever quite seem to end the way you think it will or in a traditional quote unquote happy ending. But it's watching the characters go through the emotions, the struggles, the drama, the humor of it all. And the way that it's shot, it's, and then the performance. I mean, these actors are, you know, amazing. Brian Tyree Henry as Paper Boi.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Paper Boi, Paper Boi.
Casey G. Smith.: Obviously Donald doing his thing. Yeah. And uh, LaKeith Stanfield, you know, who is, but he's so great at playing weird. He, he just does it so effortlessly. But yeah, it was very enjoyable and at times you you get kind of frustrated with like, you feel the character's frustration. Paper Boi, like, I feel his frustration. But seeing him get his layers peeled back a little bit in, in attempts to get his phone back.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Getting weirder and weirder. True. Yeah. You like, get there with him. Yeah, for sure.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, that was, that was so it was wild in the ending, you know, the curve of the ending, I was like, I was like, I was I was pissed. I was pissed for him. I was like, this joker.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, what happened? That. Yeah.
Casey G. Smith.: But they're also, you know, literally doing a European tour. And I was looking at the credits too. It's being filmed. A lot of that isn't filmed in America. And so there's like some tax, I won't say tax rebates, but, you know, there's some like, they get access to certain money that you may not get here in America because of the arts and things like that. So seeing that, I was like, oh man, that's pretty cool, man. And it's smart, just go somewhere else and shoot. I bet the creativity is through the roof when you get to do that.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Casey G. Smith.: I bet, I bet. So no, I, I, I enjoyed that uh, latest episode of Atlanta. Something that I had watched, I forgot to mention last time. That was one of my favorite things that I watched all year were both seasons one and two of Ted Lasso on Apple TV. I cannot recommend it enough. It's something I, I would not have thought I would have cared anything about. It's an American coach who gets hired to manage and run, pardon me, a soccer team in the UK. And it's uh, Jason Sudeikis and he plays like, I think he, I think in the show he's from like Oklahoma. And he's just as American as American can be. He's got all these one-liners and quips. He's just high energy all the time. And it's, it's the show is brilliant. It's absolutely brilliant. The, the, the back and forth between the the players themselves, their egos, because I mean, this is the biggest sport in the world. Like, America, we're the odd ones out where, you know, soccer's not the number one sport here, that's strange, you know, by comparison. It's it's strange.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Atlanta. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Football. Football.
Reginald Titus Jr.: American.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Sure. True. True.
Casey G. Smith.: And so, and then they're the, they're they're, they're not showing too much in them because I think this thing is going to be a cameo fest. When you say multiverse of madness, that, that is free rein. There's all kinds of rumors floating out there as far as what might be in here. There's rumors of uh, Tom Cruise potentially playing a superior Iron Man, which was a character from the comics. But decades ago, Tom Cruise was rumored to play Tony Stark in an Iron Man film that was that I think was James Cameron going to direct that, I remember who. But that was decades ago. Uh, so to bring him in, so who, who knows who we might see. There's rumors that Patrick Stewart is, is potentially going to be in it as Professor X and maybe the Illuminati from the comics. So, yeah, it is, this thing is wide open. I think it's going to be just crazy. So, I'm I'm pretty stoked for it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Got our own version of football. That's what we do.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, that's that's true. But it's, it, it's a great show. The brilliant, brilliant performances. I mean, cleaned up at the Emmys, like, like, yeah, cleaned up at the Emmys. Multiple awards, smartly written. Ted Lasso, I mean, I, I, I binged through those, those two seasons like, I couldn't stop. I'm like, next, next. I need them all. I need them all. So, yeah, I will be on when season three drops. But Apple TV, Ted Lasso, thank me later.
Reginald Titus Jr.: You're welcome. You're welcome. Um, also one of the another thing I was watching is just one episode. Uh, it's a TV show, it's on Netflix. It's called Dirty Money. And this one kind of goes into like, it's episodic, so it goes to different scandals that happen, you know, internationally, but a lot of times they're just focus on America. Uh, this one in particular was the Wells Fargo scandal. Uh, Wells Fargo over the last couple years, they were in the news, basically committing fraud, like a lot of their retail, like associates, you know, there was so much pressure on these people to get to open up accounts that it got to the point where they were just doing fraud to to reach the numbers. Sick. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's pretty horrible, man. And it, and it seems like when you're dealing with these multi-corporations like this, making billions of dollars, uh, like profit every year, that the people that really, really suffer are the people that are just living kind of like paycheck to paycheck, you know, only getting paid 15, 10 to 15 bucks an hour. Yep. And are scared to lose their job, whereas the person that ends up resigning, you know, still gets their $200 million, you know, parachute. Um.
Casey G. Smith.: And even if there's any kind of like punishment from a federal standpoint, you know, hitting these banks with a, even a billion dollar fine, it's a slap on the wrist with all the, all the money they have access to. It's it's nothing to them. They they in the end of the day, they're not really damaged by it. They've they've already done the deal, done the deed, hurt the people and they just get off and they get to keep, keep functioning.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And keep it rolling, man. It's like, wow. So that was eye opening. Uh, Dirty Money on Netflix.
Casey G. Smith.: I think I, that was that one came out a couple years ago. They have multiple seasons. Um, I think I may have watched one on like payday loans or something like that. That whole industry. They they get they get a lot of people hemmed up in that too. That same kind of demographic. Yeah, those payday loans can get you. Be careful. Be careful. Uh, I've also been watching, uh, America in Color.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. America in Color?
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, on the uh, Paramount Plus.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That sounds good.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, it's a docu-series. I dig like history, docu-series that deal with like specific decades. I don't know why that fascinates me. Uh, it's history. It's it's it's it's.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I like to be reminded from a nostalgic standpoint, like, oh yeah, that did happen.
Casey G. Smith.: Exactly. And then you get, you know, boom. The Great Depression that hit the 30s. And then, you know, they're talking about, you know, who's in office, who's president, and the different people that you read about in the history books. But then seeing them, and then seeing this, you know, this film like colorized, it puts a different uh, different take, different spin on it. It's all narrated by Liev Schreiber. Uh, very, it's all just very well done. So if you're looking for some, some very interesting history lessons, America in Color uh, on Paramount Plus.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I didn't realize how weird the 90s were in like some of the fashion and things that we were rocking until seeing that I think there's a uh, series on Hulu talking about back in the 90s or something like that. We watched a couple of those episodes. I need to go back and check that out because when you're living it sometimes it's, the 90s was, there's a lot of changes that happened. A lot of things that, that kind of popped off. But yeah, that that's worth checking out because I remember some of the clothes I used to wear, some of the colors I used to wear in the 90s. I'm like, oh yeah, that's uh, yeah, turquoise and like mustard, you know, mustard, whatever, whatever. But uh, this, this particular show that has, I think there's three seasons of it. The first season deals with the, the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and then the 60s. Wow. Which I find just really, really fascinating times in America because we go from like the roaring 20s. Like America was like bumping. Yep. Like things are good. People, you know, I mean, women are finding like new freedom and they're hitting the term flappers and at the same time though, alcohol gets, you know, banned. Yeah. You know, you get prohibition and then you got these speakeasies where people are going to do their thing. It's very, very, very fascinating. And then you get, you know, boom. The Great Depression that hit the 30s. And then, you know, they're talking about, you know, who's in office, who's president, and the different people that you read about in the history books. But then seeing them, and then seeing this, you know, this film like colorized, it puts a different uh, different take, different spin on it. It's all narrated by Liev Schreiber. Uh, very, it's all just very well done. So if you're looking for some, some very interesting history lessons, America in Color uh, on Paramount Plus.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay. Paramount Plus. Everybody in their streaming services. Uh, anything else?
Casey G. Smith.: Uh, you know, I'm I'm still on my my regular shows, you know, my Young Rock, my Halo series, still watching that also on Paramount Plus. Young Rock on, I watch it on Hulu or sometimes live on NBC. Moon Knight, you know, I'm still uh, that one solid. Yeah, it has been. This last episode was, was was was good, not as good as the first two, but still pretty good. Uh, but now we're halfway through. There's only three more episodes left, so I think it's going to really pop off because people who had gotten, you know, pre-screeners before, they got to the first four episodes and they were like going crazy like, man, this is insane, you know, so I think something big's going down this next episode. So looking forward to that on Disney Plus. Winning Time on HBO Max, which is about the the Lakers, the building of the Lakers dynasty. That show, new episode tonight. Sunday nights is when it drops. So that one that one is, I look forward to that every week because it's just, you know, being a child of the 80s and the Lakers being the first basketball team I ever watched. You know, I remember, you know, living in, heck, I mean, even, I remember even in um, when we first moved to North Dakota. I remember we were, we were in off-base housing in temporary living quarters, TLQ. And I remember us watching, I remember the the Pistons and and Magic, you know, I was as a kid, we were seeing them them squaring off. Uh, yeah, but yeah, Lakers were the first team that I saw and cheered for, because my dad was you know, cheering for them. So I was, you know, a young lad and I'm like, okay, young go match. But you know, seeing Magic, you know, doing his thing on the court and yeah, and Kareem and all them. So that, another film I watched that was, I'm trying to go back and watch some like the classic Oscar nominated films. So The Great Dictator, I watched on HBO Max. Written and directed and starring Charlie Chaplin. Holy smokes.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Uh huh. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, still good. Wow. Yeah.
Casey G. Smith.: Yo, like, it came out in 1941. Pretty powerful. Like, I've never watched any of Chaplin's films really. I've always, I've always thought like, you know, yeah, just like, you know, the silent, silent film actor and his comedy stuff. And this has, this has some of that, but this is this is a speaking film, right? This is, he's a speaking lines and everything. Yeah, and he's, he's playing the roles of both a a Jewish barber, but also Hitler as well. He's playing both roles and it's a, it's a, it's a really good film. Especially the the the last like scene at the end is a speech that he gives, it's just powerful, very powerful. But it was kind of, you know, right at the, you know, the rise of, of Hitler. But it's, you know, they don't actually use the name Hitler. Like, there's a name that's that sounds similar, that starts with a H and his last name starts with an A, but they don't actually say his name. They don't have they don't actually have swastikas on their uniforms. Just like a some some other kind of symbol. But it's it's it's funny, but it's poignant and it's it's very well done. And it got nominated for multiple Academy Awards. Didn't win any unfortunately, but it got nominated for like six or seven Academy Awards. Yeah, Charlie Chaplin, man. I don't I didn't even know he directed. I was like, whoa, like respect. Like I, I'm.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I'm saying. That's crazy. Wow.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Shut out.
Casey G. Smith.: Yes, sir. Anyway, I'm going kind of long but that's uh, what I've been watching.

Casey G. Smith.: I remember, I still, I still enjoyed it. I think about now, I still enjoyed it. But it was nice to watch it big screen with my surround sound going. But no, I, I enjoyed it then, just on my phone at the time. I may have, I may have, I had my earbuds. I don't remember. But I remember enjoying it thoroughly, far, far more than the the first one. I, I enjoyed the humor. I mean, James Gunn, I thought he uh, just did a fantastic job of blending humor with drama. So you these high moments of tension and uh, yeah, I thought it was pretty, I thought it was pretty good. But the, the more I've seen it now, I've watched it three times now. I like it more each time I see it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Same. I um, I think we talked about it or chatted, text about it at the time. And I think I, I'm, I think I didn't dig it as much. I think that was the situation. Um, and I watched it, HBO, HBO Max at home. And maybe I was in the wrong mind state when I watched it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't remember. There's a lot going on then.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, there was.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So, I don't know. I don't know if I just couldn't enjoy it. But for whatever reason, I enjoyed it this time. And this time, I'm just, I'm not even watching the movie like all the way through, you know, experiencing them. I'm listening to the commentary and enjoying the visuals. I mean, enjoying James talk about it, but then he'll take breaks. He'll take breaks and then you can enjoy some parts of it. And I was like, this is actually pretty good. There's a lot going on in the film. Yeah. Because again, like I've seen it three times and each time, I'm catching new stuff. I'm like, wait a minute, I don't, I missed that last time. It's long too. Yeah, it's got, got a decent, decent clip to it. But there's a lot going on. Even in the dialogue, like, there's, it's just packed with stuff. So I'll take notes. I'd stop, like, let me get that down. I'm like, man, there's a, plenty going on here.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. Right.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, so as to agree with you, yeah, the more I watch it, I like it more. And then watching it, because I'm watching it with the Blu-ray this time. It is crispy. Super clear. Yeah. Different than HBO Max. Like, man, like you can really see the visual effects and like how graphic things are. I'm like, oh, man. I've been missing out. Blu-ray.
Casey G. Smith.: Hey.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Um, a lot of good uh, special features and things like that on here. Um, but uh, what did you um, like or not like about the film?
Casey G. Smith.: Uh, I like, I like how the film starts, I actually, let me say this, I like to say that this is your first time listening to Filmmaker Commentary. Please know that there will be spoilers. You've been forewarned. I like how the film starts with a first team hitting the island.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yes.
Casey G. Smith.: And just they get massacred, and then boom, we cut over to the real team. Yeah, team two. And then then then things kick off. I was like, oh, that's a heck of a, it's it's it's it's it's pretty smart, pretty sharp. So I like that. And I like Sylvester Stallone's performance voicing uh, Nanaue, uh, aka King Shark. He's uh, James Gunn has a talent for taking anthropomorphic characters, uh, and making them likable and lovable. He did the same with Rocket and and Groot, and he did the same with, with King Shark, who is chopping on, swallowing people whole, like.
Reginald Titus Jr.: As messed up. Yeah. King Shark. Yeah. And Rocket is very talkative.
Casey G. Smith.: Yes, he is. That is also true. Uh, and then I also like uh, the the brief, no, no, no, I'm not. I like the the brief appearance of of Nathan Fillion as uh, one TDK. Oh man. The the detachable kid. Yeah, just just ridiculous. It it is as ridiculous as it sounds. The detachable kid. He's just like slapping and doing like three stooges slapstick to these guys. Like, they could have done. Yeah, but it but he was, he was a throwaway character. He was made literally just for the movie. He was made to made to die.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay. Detachable kid.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Like what? Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: They like his hands are floating. They just shoot his arms. Yeah. He's laying on the ground, kicking his feet. Yeah. He could still feel that. See, that's that's the little downside. Yeah. That that is the downside. Uh, as far as, I didn't really put down any dislikes. Uh again, the more I, I see it, the more I dig it. Yeah.
Casey G. Smith.: That's rough. That that is the downside.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Same. I don't think I really had anything that I disliked at all. Um, I I think probably the first time watching it, maybe it was the pacing for me or maybe I just felt like it was just too much. I don't know. Uh, but this time around, I didn't feel that way. Sure. It's magic. Um, but the movie also, it reminded me of um, Planet Terror, Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror. Just how like graphic it was and, but at the same time, there's comedy. It's not to be taken too seriously. So it reminded me of that. And then if you go into the special features, there's like uh, trailers that are cut in the way of those like kind of older B-roll films, yeah. Like those war films with the voiceover.
Casey G. Smith.: It's magic.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I saw, I saw them there but I haven't had a chance to watch them. I'm going to go back and check them out.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah, they're like little retro trailers. So they cut this movie, a trailer in those styles. And so it was like, okay, this is like Planet Terror. It's exactly like that because they did that in Planet Terror and in uh, Death Proof.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Casey G. Smith.: James Gunn just, he's just such a lover of, of film, uh, and music. Obviously, you know, which plays always such a big role in his uh, productions. But yeah, I, I.
Reginald Titus Jr.: A lot of uh, um, cuz the reason I bring up Rodriguez because it's like the same kind of correlation and like some of their styles, their comedy, and then they're both like artists. So like there's a love for music. Robert Rodriguez actually plays the guitar and has a band and things like that and um, they both draw, draw out the storyboards. So there's like a lot going on there. Uh, that I'm like, well, that reminds me of the other guy.

Filmmaker Commentary & Production Insights
Reginald Titus Jr.: What do you think about the commentary?
Casey G. Smith.: Solid. I mean, James Gunn comes in and he says that he didn't prepare any notes. He says he wished he had, but he didn't need them. Like, he, he's just, boom, just firing off on all cylinders. He's giving, you know, gratitude and and thanks. He says this is the best cast he'd ever worked with. And I mean, it, it, I think it's evident because he then goes on to immediately do Peacemaker with John Cena after this because just because of the way that John performs. And and in Peacemaker, John Cena from an acting standpoint goes next level. Like he shows, he shows an emotional depth that we hadn't seen before. Like he's, he's really coming to his own. Like he's, he's going to be making some great movies and great productions to the future. He's really grown as a actor.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. That's pretty cool. I think that was good too. Um, at the time, like you were saying, this is when he's recording this commentary, James Gunn, it's one year in the future. And so he's reflecting back on what happened, but he's so in depth into the Peacemaker. They're currently shooting the Peacemaker series that he's kind of trying to recall, but it's all positive. So he comes in like just positive energy, ready to rock and roll. like, let's go. I got coffee today.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah. Yeah, a good experience. A good, real good experience. And uh, again, he pretty much had free rein to do what he wanted to do. He didn't have any restraints. And so with a mind like James Gunn, that means sky's the limit. And he uh, he, he went for it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I always like this commentaries. He's one of those, he's a good commentary, um, director. Uh, loves to talk, loves to hear his voice. You know, reminds me like Eli Roth, Kevin Smith, those guys that, that can just keep on going, keep on going. And um, I didn't think James Gunn his career would go like this, you know, in this trajectory, especially seeing him early on, you know, writing Scooby Doo and being on the set of a lot of Lloyd Kaufman's uh, movies, writing those little crazy movies and from that superhero movie, what was his first superhero movie? Super.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Super. And seeing how like, just graphic that was, and like, actually, this makes sense. You know.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Super. Super was something else. I remember he had Rainn Wilson from The Office in it. I remember watching that. And I was like, this is different.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And and uh, Ellen Page. Oh yeah, that's right. now, now Elliot Page. She switch the game up. Yeah. Like, she's like full, I mean, I guess now he. Now it's like, straight straight up he. Now.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I have no comment. So, anyway, but at the time it was, it was uh, Ellen Page, who was now Elliot Page in in the film. And very, very interesting in terms of what happens. Anyway, but yeah, that's uh, yeah, I, I didn't expect, but I remember when I saw Guardians. Like, you know how excited I was. I I took you and I was like, hey, you guys got to come with me to see this film. It is nuts. And yeah, I officially became a, became a fan.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I agree, man. Mr. Gunn. I went back and watched. What's the one with the slugs in it? Slither. Yeah, slither. Yeah, I always wanna, yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry. I always second guess the title. Is it Slither? Yeah, Slither.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, well done. Um, I would suggest watching the special features, you know, there's like deleted scenes, gag reels, and then like these little featurettes, you know, talking about how how they were able to create King Shark, doing those graphics, and uh, of course, those trailers are in there. And uh, there's like a explaze, he just kind of talking about James Gunn and like kind of his style and how he approaches things. So there's some some good featurettes in there to check out for sure.
Reginald Titus Jr.: What did you think about like the tone? How was, how was the tone set in this film?
Casey G. Smith.: So the tone in this film is it's part dark comedy, part like like heist, not the right word, but kind of, you know, like your your dirty dozen, we got a symbol of team for a special mission, we're not all going to make it back. Right. Kind of, kind of vibe. Like they're your your prison break, if you will, kind of film, and, you know, these these people are being led out of prison to accomplish this task.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. Right.
Casey G. Smith.: It's also still a superhero film, because these are all, with the exception of TDK, these are all characters who come directly from DC Comics. Even, even the people working in the back office with Amanda Waller, they're characters in DC. But it's but it's also filled with moments that you know, you go from, you go from fantastic and dark comedy and violence to these real like tender moments that like strike at the core of these characters, where they reveal something very real and personal that that kind of grounds them. Which I find it's it's it's really, really well done. And these are, you know, supposed to be, these are, these are killers, murderers, psychopaths. These are criminals who have long sentences in prison for the things they've done. But you get these moments that bring you in and ground it. So, so yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I was comparing the opening sequence, like, I didn't rewatch the original Suicide Squad. I just watched certain scenes. And like, a difference is with, what's our guy that, that when we open up in *The* Suicide Squad, we see the prisoner sitting down with the long hair.
Casey G. Smith.: That's uh, Michael Rooker. He's playing uh, Savant, yeah, like idiots, Savant. So he's like just in an outside cell, four walls around him. Just like X's all over the wall. He has like this ball and he throws the ball against the X's and it's bouncing off the walls and kills a bird. You know, like, oh, okay, this is ridiculous. You know, it's the bird and just blood, and he rubbed, there's blood on the ball, and he rubs the ball off on to his legs or whatever, the blood on to his legs. And like, okay, this is kind of ridiculous. But then when you go to the other Suicide Squad, uh, the first one, it seems like it's a little bit more grounded in like, hey, this is probably not a good idea to recruit, you know, prisoners from. To do these missions, you know, it seems like it's kind of grounded in that and they spent a little bit more time in that recruitment stage.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Savant. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Right.
Casey G. Smith.: Sure.
Reginald Titus Jr.: You know, when we were talking about Will Smith's character, shooting all these guns, but he didn't know that there was real bullets in the gun. He thought they were just playing with him or something like that. He said, oh, y'all, what do you say?
Casey G. Smith.: The joker's must be crazy. Yes, they are crazy. Like, what, you know, this shouldn't be happening.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Must be crazy.
Casey G. Smith.: I guess the difference is that this is a sequel, because you still you still have both Amanda Waller, Rick Flag, and Harley Quinn, and Captain Boomerang, all returning from the previous one. So this is, so they've already established that in the first film. Right. So now, when they start this one off, they want to show you, like, this, this one says, okay, we've established all that before. Now we want to show you the, the, the fun, like, the fun aspect of, of this. And they take you in, like, when Task Force X goes on a mission, the risk is high. And they want to show you immediately, like, how this works. Like, in in worst case scenario, how it doesn't work. Like, when things go bad, and it immediately goes bad for team one. They are mowed down and.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Right.
Casey G. Smith.: It's um, yeah, and so like, from that, because I was reviewing it, I was viewing it like, like someone hit the reset button. Boop. Suicide Squad. *The* Suicide Squad, you know. But then going back and looking at the scenes like, wait a second, same characters are still here. I was like, okay, I didn't know this was meant to be taken in this way as a sequel. Um, any how, but the tone, you know, talking about how when they go to, on their first mission, when they go on their first mission and then just how like, it's a Suicide Squad, how they're just obliterated. Team one is obliterated. Shot in the face. What else do they get? Uh, the, the, the.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah.
Casey G. Smith.: Burn alive. The chick on the on the helicopter, I got the chopper. And then that chopper like chops up uh, Boomerang. Yeah, those splinters from the trees. Just fly out and. And then the weasel like, drown him. Drown. Did nobody check to see if the weasel could swim? He dies on the beach front. Um, and then Savant like freaks out and runs back to the ocean and gets his brains blown out because there's a, there's a bomb, there's a little detonator in his head. If anybody tries to escape, you die. And Viola Davis's character, pushed the button and blows his brain out. And so blows his brain out, but in the water, his brains spell out Warner Brothers presents The Suicide Squad. And when his brains get blown out, the same kind of bird that he had killed when he was throwing that ball around, one of those same kinds of bird. I think the canary, maybe lands on his, you know, blown out head and begins to pick at his brain meat and and take a bite.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Drown. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Presses the button.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's ironic. And the signs of a good writer. Heck yeah. Heck yeah. And that, so that to me just sets the tone on the counter ride that we're on.
Casey G. Smith.: But also, okay, so you get to that that those moments of, you know, fantastic and crazy and dark comedy. To then all of a sudden, because you know, on the chopper right there, they're talking, they're joking around. And this is, you know, you know, funny moments like, you know, your your your your name is TDK. What does that mean? TDK, it's, it's me. What's your, your, your letters? Your, your name is letters? No, all names are letters. You, you, whatever. But yes, so you get that moment of of comedy and levity, then you get the dark, you you then you get the action and the fantastical. But then you get the real fear that hits um, Savant. You know, he's like this hardened dude, but all of a sudden, he freaks out. I mean, his and his fear is genuine where he sees all the death. And that's too much for him. And clearly this guy's a killer. He's if he's in Belle Reve, he's probably killed people. And all of a sudden, he's he's boom, heading the water, trying to get away, like desperately trying to get away. It explodes. So, yeah, it's giving you already the the comedy, the violence, and then the the the depth of of character emotion. And then more violence. More violence.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. And then Harley's like, if you have personalized license plates, you die. And then she just starts just making up other stuff. If you wear Mitch Max, if you wear like the wrong black colors or something like that. If you cough without covering your mouth, you die. And then Flagg's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, those other three aren't aren't things. So the last three things are not things. But of course, that's not an open invitation to start coughing without covering your mouth.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's right. Pandemic.
Casey G. Smith.: Yeah. Yeah, he just. But yes, you get that moment of of comedy and levity, then you get the dark, you you then you get the action and the fantastical. But then you get the real fear that hits um, Savant. You know, he's like this hardened dude, but all of a sudden, he freaks out. I mean, his and his fear is genuine where he sees all the death. And that's too much for him. And clearly this guy's a killer. He's if he's in Belle Reve, he's probably killed people. And all of a sudden, he's he's boom, heading the water, trying to get away, like desperately trying to get away. It explodes. So, yeah, it's giving you already the the comedy, the violence, and then the the the depth of of character emotion. And then more violence. More violence.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh man. Yeah, the soundtrack. And then after they die too, um, the employees are betting on who's going to die. And so this guy's brain is blown out. It cuts to the employees like, give me that money. You lost. It's like, oh man. That's pretty bad. It's a, it's a Deadpool. I like the uh, the style of the film. Um, how um, James Gunn, how he does his transitions, especially like dealing with the timeline. So like, for example, there's that happens and I believe, they're on the beach, correct me if I'm wrong, they're on the beach and then it says, three days earlier. And then it But the three days earlier spelled out on the toilet seat. Yeah. And then we zoom into the toilet seat and we see this Idris Elba cleaning. Yeah. And like, like, okay, this is how they got to this point.
Casey G. Smith.: And then the music, right? You get that song playing. Those are people who died. Died. Died.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. Right. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So yeah, I like like this style. There's know, like kinda like stylistic things that Gunn was pulling off.
Casey G. Smith.: For sure. There's there's constant movement of the camera. The camera moves constantly and even like giving you different uh, you know, perspectives. There's a scene later on where John Cena and Idris Elba's characters, right? uh, Sports, no, Bloodsport and Peacemaker. They're they're infiltrating. They're taking out. They're trying to save Rick Flag, basically. Yeah. And they're competing against each other like shooting people, whatever. And, you know, uh, Bloodsport kills a couple guys and then he turns to Peacemaker and he flips him the bird. Yeah. And then Peacemaker turns back towards uh, Bloodsport and does the, you know, the the hand motion of, of releasing. He's doing the jerk off motion. Yeah, he does that he does that motion and and then like throws it like he's throwing throwing the release at at Bloodsport. And they're about, they're about 20 feet apart, maybe 15 feet apart from each other. And the funny, the funny subtle thing that Bloodsport does is he moves his head back and it's like, like it like something hit him. He's like, like, cracks me up. Like, he actually reacts to it. Like he's dodging it. Yeah. Like, it's like, like it hit him. He's like, it's real subtle. But it cracks me up. And then but the camera switches just in time to see him. Yeah, these dudes are nuts.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And speaking about the camera movement, um, James Gunn talks about a handheld rig. And it's like a smaller one because usually like with these bigger rigs, you can't move around as quickly. Um, and also it gives you like emotion of seasickness, you know, with those bigger rigs. But because cameras are getting smaller, um, I believe he said they were on the red camera. I think it was a raptor, a viper. I lose track. Sorry, red. Um, but because of that, they were able to move faster than normal. They move quicker.
Casey G. Smith.: Absolutely. And it pays, it it definitely pays off. This is a, at times like it does a good job of balancing the speed of like, it slows down at times and then it knows when to pick up. And uh, I thought it was paced. I thought, I mean, I think it's paced very well.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Mhm. I agreed. Uh, what kind of themes did you pull out of this film?
Casey G. Smith.: Thematically speaking, uh, I pull themes of redemption, family, trust, sacrifice, killing birds. There's a lot of like killing birds. Killing, killing of birds. You know, again, from the beginning with Savant to Harley in, you know, that room with the guys, his uh, his his bird's there. Then there's another scene later on, I forgot. But there's another thing where another bird dies. Um, reflections, like they they use reflections at times for telling flashbacks or at times you'll see a character in a reflection. Like when uh, Bloodsport meets his daughter, when he goes to talk to her, like, you see her reflection first in the glass and then it moves over to actually showing her.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, for sure. Yes. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, that was like the opening scene was a reflection. When we see Savant, his character, he's sitting down on the bench and there's like a water puddle. In like, we think that's the opening scene. We think that's the shot, but actually that's a reflection. When we look up and we it reveals that it's actually him.
Casey G. Smith.: Mhm.
Casey G. Smith.: And then toxic masculinity, which I got that from James Gunn. He mentions that specifically. I was like, oh. How about you?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, I didn't write too many themes down, uh, but I did notice like the American flag a lot. And, you know, when they're floating out of the prison, you see the American, you know, the shot's still on the American flag blowing in the wind. Or the introduction of team one as they're walking in slow mo towards the camera. You see the big American flag, like, take it up the whole frame behind them in the background. I was like, okay, we're they're pushing home the American thing. Doing this for our country. Yeah. Um, do I do have a uh, um, I did write a little bit of extra stuff. I don't usually always talk about the director point of view, but every now and then you get a director that talks a little bit more about his point of view and approaching the film. Um, and good thing James Gunn is a talkative talkative director. Um, but he said he was inspired by the war caper films that he saw on Saturday afternoon as a kid, especially ones from the 60s and 70s, like 30 dozen. Um, and then, uh, with a big budget, he has a, you know, this movie had a big budget, then they didn't give him any rules, like any constraints or anything like that. So because of that, he's taking full, he said, I'm going to take full advantage of that. And so because of that, that's I think that's the reason why it's so graphic and he gets away with a lot more because they're like, hey, do your thing. You got, yeah, and if you you consider him coming from Disney with those films are, you know, PG-13. You know, what's this one rated? Is it rated R? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, so be able to come out suicide, do a R-rated film, which is more of James Gunn's speed based on his previous films. Yeah, to be able to do a superhero film and go just, you know, no restraints. Yeah, he did, he did, he took, he took, he did take full advantage. Strong violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual references, drug use and brief graphic nudity. Checked all the boxes off.
Casey G. Smith.: So I'm with it. My mantra is, we're shooting something. There we go.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Yeah, he's out here working. Yeah, working, man. And he's got love and thunder coming up, you know, Thor Love and Thunder. Is the trailer out of that? People been like, they've been like feigning for that trailer coming up cause it's, it comes out like in three months. Okay. Marvel's coming with it. Yeah. They had to push so much stuff back. But I think when that trailer drops, it's going to be be pretty nuts. Okay. Going to the theaters. Yes, sir. Um, they shot in Panama and Atlanta. I thought maybe New Zealand also because it shows up at the end of the credits, but I didn't hear him mention New Zealand in the commentary. So maybe there was some second unit stuff in New Zealand. But definitely Panama and Atlanta, Atlanta on their sound stage. It's a pretty big sound stage. Um, one thing that um, uh, James Gunn, James Gunn likes to do is put Lloyd Kaufman in his films. And so Lloyd Kaufman, here in Panama City, when, soon as they go into the little Vice club where everybody's stripping and stuff, uh, rat, rat girl, rat queen, what is her name? Rat catcher. Oh, rat catcher two. Rat catcher two, she busts through the door. Lloyd Kaufman's right there. He gets hit by the door. He's like, oh, that's Lloyd Kaufman. Uh, he was in um, Guardians of the Galaxy when like all the, the inmates are like, uh, he's like right in the middle. Like, uh, So it's, it's interesting how actors, you know, they, you know, how, how they work too. It's um, I can't remember which actor said this. It might have been Daniella, I can't remember. But, um, they were saying it's interesting. I think it was Margot, Margot Robbie. Uh, and she was saying, he knows exactly what he wants. Like, it's good to work with him. He knows exactly what he wants. Whereas some actors or actresses might be like, you know, I like to go in there and improvise and, you know, because you have some, some directors that come in there, they don't have it storyboarded. They want to see what you're going to bring. You know, play play around some and, hey Denzel, where are we going today? You know, I've heard that from other directors where it's like, he'll give you those, I mean, superstar. So it's like, he's a director also. That's why I'm right. and he's not going to as an actor, he's not going to give you always what you want. Kind of as a test, you know, it's like, I don't want to be on the ground. I'm going to stand up. He's like, all right, I guess we're standing up today, guys. You know. King Kong. Yeah. I run this. You just work here. You just live here. I run this. Give me a donut. And some coffee. Oh, man. Yeah, you can uh, create an ocean front if you need to. Man. The the fact that that that ocean that weasel was drowning in. Yeah. That whole beach front. That was all done like in a sound studio. That's wild. Wait, wait, what? Wow. So, yeah, so I'm that that budget that's that's where it was at. And they built a whole property. Um, what was I about to say? Um, the oh, yeah, the second unit director, he shot the stuff in like some of the street stuff in Panama. And it was based on those storyboards and animatics that uh, James Gunn produced. So, you have the storyboard that's drawn out and then you have the animatics which are a CGI representation of what happens. Like, oh, I don't have to make decisions in here. I just have to, I just need to shoot it as a second unit director. Just shoot it. This is I'm I'm giving you exactly what you want. I don't have to make any creative decisions here. Yeah. Yeah, anything you can get one of the older guys like in there because they're they're not actors. It's not what they do. But they are characters within themselves. So like Lloyd is just, he's just nuts. And it's just fun to see him in there in the films getting killed or doing something crazy. Nice. Taika Waititi. Dude, I had no idea. He was in the film. Like, I knew he looked familiar, but even with him showing him. I was like, hey, he looks familiar. Once I saw him like flow, I was like, oh, it's Taika Waititi. I'm like, okay, he's he's a heck of a talent. I mean, I, I knew him as a director first. Right. But now I'm I'm seeing him in more stuff. I'm like, he's he's an actor too. He's doing his thing. Doing the voice of was in Thor Ragnarok. Yeah, of uh, Korg. Korg. And then seeing him in Free Guy. Free Guy. It's a Free Guy. Good guy. Free Guy. Ryan Reynolds. Did you see the film? I did. It was solid. Taika was in there. He was a villain. That's right. Yeah, he's the main, the main dude. Right. He's the he's the boss. Yeah, I I totally forgot about that. Taika, he's out here working. He's out here working, man. And he's got Love and Thunder coming up, you know, Thor Love and Thunder. Is the trailer out of that? No, people have been like, they've been like feening for that trailer coming up cause it's comes out like in three months. Okay. Marvel's coming with it. Yeah, they had to push so much stuff back. But I think when that trailer drops, it's going to be be pretty nuts. Okay. Going to the theaters. Yes, sir. Um, they shot in Panama and Atlanta. I thought maybe New Zealand also because it shows up at the end of the credits, but I didn't hear him mention New Zealand in the commentary. So maybe there was some second unit stuff in New Zealand. But definitely Panama and Atlanta, Atlanta on their sound stage. It's a pretty big sound stage. Um, one thing that um, uh, James Gunn, James Gunn likes to do is put Lloyd Kaufman in his films. And so Lloyd Kaufman, here in Panama City, when, soon as they go into the little Vice club where everybody's stripping and stuff, uh, rat, rat girl, rat queen, what is her name? Rat catcher. Oh, rat catcher two. Rat catcher two, she busts through the door. Lloyd Kaufman's right there. He gets hit by the door. He's like, oh, that's Lloyd Kaufman. Uh, he was in um, Guardians of the Galaxy when like all the, the inmates are like, uh, he's like right in the middle. Like, uh, So it's, it's interesting how actors, you know, they, you know, how, how they work too. It's um, I can't remember which actor said this. It might have been Daniella, I can't remember. But, um, they were saying it's interesting. I think it was Margot, Margot Robbie. Uh, and she was saying, he knows exactly what he wants. Like, it's good to work with him. He knows exactly what he wants. Whereas some actors or actresses might be like, you know, I like to go in there and improvise and, you know, because you have some, some directors that come in there, they don't have it storyboarded. They want to see what you're going to bring. You know, play play around some and, hey Denzel, where are we going today? You know, I've heard that from other directors where it's like, he'll give you those, I mean, superstar. So it's like, he's a director also. That's why I'm right. and he's not going to as an actor, he's not going to give you always what you want. Kind of as a test, you know, it's like, I don't want to be on the ground. I'm going to stand up. He's like, all right, I guess we're standing up today, guys. You know. King Kong. Yeah. I run this. You just work here. You just live here. I run this. Give me a donut. And some coffee. Oh, man. Yeah, you can uh, create an ocean front if you need to. Man. The the fact that that that ocean that weasel was drowning in. Yeah. That whole beach front. That was all done like in a sound studio. That's wild. Wait, wait, what? Wow. So, yeah, so I'm that that budget that's that's where it was at. Yeah, built a whole property. Um, what was I about to say? Um, the oh, yeah, the second unit director, he shot the stuff in like some of the street stuff in Panama. And it was based on those storyboards and animatics that uh, James Gunn produced. So, you have the storyboard that's drawn out and then you have the animatics which are a CGI representation of what happens. Like, oh, I don't have to make decisions in here. I just have to, I just need to shoot it as a second unit director. Just shoot it. This is I'm I'm giving you exactly what you want. I don't have to make any creative decisions here. It's it's interesting how actors, you know, they, you know, how, how they work too. It's um, I can't remember which actor said this. It might have been Daniella, I can't remember.
