ZakHOST
We skipped like a year and a half cause we did only Marvel movies and And then we get to Mulan, the live action remake, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
ZakHOST
Mortal Engines probably should be on this list, but I think I looked too fondly back on that movie to write it down, so I did not.
ZakHOST
Vivarium, which I really much did not like.
ZakHOST
Don't Look Up, Justice League, Suicide Squad, the first one, Joker 2, Smile 1 and 2, Den of Thieves, Until Dawn.

Uh-
Manaia StewartHOST
Uh, "My father's been in The Hobbit and Mortal Engines as an extra and is visible in the movies.
Manaia StewartHOST
It's his favorite bragging right." I've got an even lamer one.
Manaia StewartHOST
Uh, I think I mentioned this last week.
Jessie EarlHOST
So they said, okay, let's focus on her.
Jessie EarlHOST
And they decided to name her Hera after, strangely enough, the Icelandic actress who starred in their film Mortal Engines.
Jessie EarlHOST
Some of these writers really liked that actress.
Jessie EarlHOST
Hera Hilmar, I believe is her name.
Danny O'DwyerHOST
So have you ever...
Danny O'DwyerHOST
Do you ma- did you ever see that ter- I've never seen this movie, but there was a movie that came out maybe five, six years ago called, I think it was called Mortal Engines.
Jenna StoeberGUEST
Yes.
Danny O'DwyerHOST
[laughs] Jenna, do you-
Jenna StoeberGUEST
My friend Karen is, uh, was a crazy hardcore Mortal Engines fan.
Danny O'DwyerHOST
[laughs]
Jenna StoeberGUEST
And she insisted to take every, all of our friends out to the movie theater to see it to juice the ticket numbers.
Danny O'DwyerHOST
Okay, can, well-
Ai JiangGUEST
Um, my books are Ling Hun, I Am I, The Natural Engines Duology.
Ai JiangGUEST
And I think one, or, like, several cities that really stuck with me was a while back, I watched the movie Mortal Engines-
Beth TablerMODERATOR
Oh, yeah
Ai JiangGUEST
... and it features a bunch of cities that basically...
Abel MonteroGUEST
Mm
Beth TablerMODERATOR
...
Beth TablerMODERATOR
Mortal Engines reminded me of that.
Beth TablerMODERATOR
That's a very cool story.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Edit one, well, once again, I posted this and then went away for a while.
speaker_1NARRATOR
I went with my friend to see Mortal Engines and then to dinner, and then we've been talking for a long while, so I started reading a while ago.
speaker_1NARRATOR
It is going to take me forever to read, and once again, I don't think responding individually will ever happen because of the large number of posts and private messages.
speaker_1NARRATOR
But thank all of you for reading and responding.
speaker_4HOST
But it also explicitly highlights her past acting credits.
speaker_4HOST
It mentions Peter Jackson's massive sci-fi movie Mortal Engines and the Oscar-nominated Drama Lion.
speaker_5HOST
And that is a very, very specific pairing of credits.
speaker_5HOST
It's not accidental.
speaker_5HOST
It serves a distinct purpose for those German or Japanese buyers we just talked about.
speaker_4HOST
How so?
speaker_5HOST
Well, think about Mortal Engines.
speaker_5HOST
That demonstrates she can handle the immense physical and logistical pressure of a massive studio level visual effects tentpole.
