Michael Bay

Um, I have a question that is really more of a thought experiment because I think we're all sick of IP-driven movies, but I am curious, um, if you had to make a movie based on existing IP, um, what would you make and why? And, like, I encourage you to think about this as broadly as you want.

If Michael Bay can make a Skibidi Toilet movie, you can truly make anything.

All right, thank you.

Bye.

Yeah

... just, just don't make it Michael Bay and we'll be good.

No Michael Bay, please.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The

transgender movie by Michael Bay.

Wasn't that Transformers?

That's

Yes, yes.

And I don't care about these Michael Bay short things and frantic cutting.

And I was like, five seconds? That sounds so stupid.

What can you do in five seconds? And I saw some of the films and I was like, holy shit.

But he put his money where his mouth is and he kept pushing it and letting people watch it.

And that's that's brilliant.

You know, he changed it from a an electrifying drama on the trail and he changed it to a quirky dark comedy like he rebranded it he's that's brilliant that's a success he made a movie so all those filmmakers out there that like to talk shit about you know Michael Bay or Tommy Rissell it's like well are you fucking making anything then you can't really talk shit so like like fucking do it once join you know once you join the club then you can talk shit I have a...

I'm sorry, I think something might be coming up in a minute.

Christopher Nolan, six films with him.

He's worked with Gore Verbinski, Michael Bay, Denis Villeneuve, of course, at the moment, and Guy Ritchie.

So that was from the second of the two Guy Ritchie-Sherlock Holmes movies.

That's called A Game of Shadows, which starred Robert Downey Jr., And I was interested there.

Dan Slevin, efficiency.

Look, I know, you're right.

And he is, I mean, he is, it's funny that you mention Michael Bay because I do kind of think of Hans Zimmer as being the Michael Bay of film composers.

You know, it's like he likes a sledgehammer.

It's like, oh, it was done.

Oh, it's Michael Bay? I mean, this is a wrap, but that's the beauty of Random Select.

You know what I'm saying? Down goes Frasier.

Down goes Frasier.

His performance is phenomenal.

This isn't tired Optimus Prime that you get from the Michael Bay films.

This is Peter Cullen showing range as Optimus Prime.

And we haven't really seen that for a long time.

Oh, you've never seen The Rock? Never seen that movie, no.

Dude, it was one of Michael Bay's first movies.

It's fucking insane, dude.

Dude, it's essentially like Marines versus Navy SEALs.
