At what age would you introduce hypothetical kids to franchises like Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Lord of the Rings. Do they read the books first?

How can you spot a good directed movie? I mean, how can you distinguish it from just being a good script, or a great actor, or great cinematography etc.

What would your elevator pitch for a show/movie in the Star Wars universe be?

Your 3 Desert Island DVDs?

Lived in Nashville for 6 years! Loved it! Hope it’s not getting too crowded in town!

Congratulations! Probably going to need an episode on its own (please) but you’ve done a few ‘favourites’ lists, but what would you say are your ‘greatest’ of all time?

It’s well known that Tarantino wants to stop after 10 films because he feels filmmakers lose their touch after a certain age. Which filmmakers do you feel are doing some of their best work as they pass into their twilight years?

Loaded Question: What are some of your favorite TV shows of the 2010s?

Why do you think Hollywood keeps green lighting big budget adventure movies based on public domain IP that people seem to have very little interest in? King Arthur, Robin Hood, Peter Pan etc. Surely at some point even a complete hack could see that this is just slower way of setting money on fire?

Wow, Meezy. Just wow. :P —MT

Beyond the Screenplay

If you had to pick 5 movies to watch (not just have on in the background) once every month for the rest of your life, what would they be?

What are some dream guests you'd like for the show? Congrats on 1K!

What films are y’all most looking forward to seeing this year?

I was gonna ask this one!

+1 for Question #3!

duuuude xd

Thank you for everything y’all do! Question #1: Generally speaking, what are y’all’s thoughts on this years Oscar nominations? Follow up: How much do y’all care about the Oscars in 2022? Question #2: What are everyone’s Top 5 films of 2021? Question #3: Any plans to explore the films of Spike Lee, Steve McQueen, Scorsese, Kurosawa, etc.; major filmmakers not yet covered on LFTS or BTS?

Alright so Tom Hiddleston, Quentin Tarantino, and your mother. You gotta fuck one, marry one, kill one. GO

What have been some of the most difficult films to discuss and why?

Hello from Nashville! Question: When you write or shoot a project, and you are attracted to various types of applicable aesthetics, how do you choose one consistent style for the entire project as opposed to a mixed bag of diluted styles? (that many early writers are prone to do) Thanks! P.S. I’m from India, and I began and binged this podcast when I was living there traveling 2 hours everyday for college. I have to say that you guys are reaching corners of the world that you would not even anticipate, primarily because of the quality and earnestness of your discussion. So A BIG HI!!!

What were your first projects together / how did you become a team? (LFTS origin story, basically!)

Since it's oscars season I have an oscars themed question: What do you think is the biggest problem with the Oscars, and are they important? Personally I think they want to represent all of film but they clearly are American awards, that's perhaps slightly changing after parasite won best picture and drive my car getting a good amount of nominations. Also a cheeky additional question what do you think is the biggest problem with current film criticism/ general film discussion online?

When y'all are in the process of writing your own material, at what point do you open it up to critique? Bonus question: who's your favorite spiderman and why is it emo Toby McGuire?

Hello! Thanks for the podcast and all! Have any of you seen the works of Tom Perotta adapted to the screen? Namely: Election, Little Children, and of course The Leftovers. If so, what are your thoughts, and does his approach to character/milieu appeal to you?
