Scott AukermanHOST
like you all got COVID and it's like, why not just come up with a new disease? You know, since it's an alternate universe.

And speaking of directors, Gareth Edwards just dropped out of the sequel.
Grace RandolphHOST
He got the gig after David Leitch had to also creatively drop out of the first Rebirth.
Grace RandolphHOST
And so Universal hasn't decided on a director yet.
Grace RandolphHOST
Who do you think they should go with in the age of named directors? He's a little busy, but I'm going to go with Zach Krieger, who, what do you know? One of his next movies is with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
PatrickHOST
I don't know if he's in it, but you know, I hear that's good, but...
PatrickHOST
Which of these directors do you think is best at creating and capturing magic in action? And here are the choices: John Woo, Michael Bay, James Cameron, George Miller, David Leitch, or Chad Stahelski.
AdamGUEST
That's a great list.
AdamGUEST
Um, I think...
Dave MartinsonHOST
I do think the action is perhaps not quite as, like, fully formed as I was expecting, you know, like...
Dave MartinsonHOST
You think of kind of the more elevated side of action these days with the Chad Skowalski, David Leitch side of things, right? Post John Wick and all that.
Dave MartinsonHOST
This movie is almost leaning more horror, right? So like you're not seeing anything you haven't really seen before.
Dave MartinsonHOST
And the super soldiers frankly play with their food the entire time until they eventually get felled.

Our guy, David Leitch, away from making John Wick 2, to direct his first movie that he gets director credit on.
Greg SwinehartHOST
That's right, David Leitch.
Greg SwinehartHOST
And they make a movie called... atomic blonde.
Greg SwinehartHOST
We are talking about Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Eddie Marzan, Toby Jones, Sophia Boutella from the Kingsman, Bill Skarsgård, and an amazing, amazing quick cameo by a very important person in the great bad universe that I'm going to save for a So let's get to this right now.
Joe Sky-TuckerHOST
Like, we're not talking about...

Um, looks like a bit of fun.
TrevHOST
I haven't watched it yet, so this isn't giving anything away.
TrevHOST
But just to set the stage for our listeners, where am I coming from? You want to know the fun baseline for this is that, obviously, I love Ryan Gosling, love Emily Blunt, but I think you also know I'm not a huge fan of the director, David Leitch.

Correct.
TrevHOST
So it's a question mark for me going in.
