Megan Mostyn-BrownGUEST

Yeah, I adapted it for AMC years ago and they did not end up picking it up.

We're talking Blumhouse, Bad Robot, Annapurna, The Picture Cone, Tango, Hivemind, Cloud9, and The Blacklist.
speaker_1HOST
16:25
That is quite the list.
speaker_0HOST
16:26
It is.
speaker_0HOST
16:33
That is not the resume of a fringe indie writer.
speaker_0HOST
16:36
That is someone who deeply understands the commercial machinery of Hollywood.
speaker_1HOST
16:40
Well, look at the specific dichotomy between Blumhouse and Bad Robot, two of the companies he has worked with.
speaker_1HOST
16:45
Blumhouse is famous for basically revolutionizing modern horror economics.

speaker_5HOST
15:32
I mean, that is not just a list of production companies.
speaker_5HOST
15:35
That is a tour through vastly different corporate cultures and filmmaking philosophies.
speaker_5HOST
16:07
They know how to squeeze every drop of tension out of a single room.
speaker_6HOST
16:11
Precisely.
speaker_6HOST
16:12
Then you look at another company on his resume, Bad Robot.
speaker_5HOST
16:14
JJ Abrams Company.
The Critical DrinkerHOST
35:19
we'll get to that shortly trust
NatePANELIST
35:21
me so I think that's partially why a lot of them are like writers production companies they they help fund the shows that they're even writing so i think that's where a lot of that comes in unfortunately i mean look at jj abrams and bad robot you know as a director slash you know production house that's that's how he keeps getting bloody work which is mental because obviously majority of it is a poo yeah
Ryan KinelPANELIST
35:48
Even he seemed to be put a little bit in a doghouse of sorts for a while, like him as a director, not necessarily Batrobot as a production house, but, I mean, since Rise of Skywalker, the first thing he did was that thing that just came out a couple weeks ago, right?
Robot HeadPANELIST
36:03
And he was everywhere before that.
NatePANELIST
37:38
He personally put in a phone call, I believe was the quote to Jeff Bezos.
NatePANELIST
37:43
who's the individual that was doing Star Trek for a little while, you know, on the TV.
NatePANELIST
37:49
He was a J.J. Abrams bad robot acolyte.
NatePANELIST
37:51
So, you know, J.J. Abrams, his, like, you know, his Hollywood effect, his shadow looms still large, unfortunately, even though he's only just come back.
ChrisHOST
48:16
And now what we have is new hires that have never worked in TV before or written.
ChrisHOST
48:22
Their first job is working for Bad Robot.
ChrisHOST
48:25
And so this is what they're writing.
ChrisHOST
48:26
And that's not a judgment.
ChrisHOST

RobertHOST
2:14
The story follows a young woman who, after a car crash, wakes up in an underground bunker with two men who insist that an event has left the surface of the earth uninhabitable.
ChrisHOST
2:24
The film was developed from a script titled The Cellar, but under production by Bad Robot, it was turned into a spiritual successor to the 2008 film Cloverfield.
ChrisHOST
2:35
Spoiler alert.
ChrisHOST
2:36
It's presented in the third-person narrative in contrast to its predecessor's found footage style.

12 MINS LATER

ChrisHOST
14:13
So, yes, he made a point there, although he could have been a little bit more on the nose.
RobertHOST
14:18
Although it seems to me that this review by Bowen is more a comment on Abrams than on this film, you know? Which
ChrisHOST
14:27
is also especially weird because this film, I think, was written and was a spec script, right? after that lost beat but before and like jj abrams had nothing to do with the writing of this film no he did not which is interesting but it might have actually you know gotten the favor of bad robot because jj abrams love you know that sort of storytelling
RobertHOST
14:51
and it's okay to have like similar plot points i mean it happens all the time yeah do you have some favorite letterboxd reviews
RichHOST
26:39
It's time for the 3FN Movie Club review.

RichHOST
26:48
That's right.
RichHOST
26:48
It's the end of Oak Street.
