Kevin ChanHOST
And I think that notion has dipped in recent years.
Kevin ChanHOST
Anyway, I don't want to steal the show, but yeah, Chris, I mean, I was going to bring up Napoleon because I think we've discussed Napoleon in the past, and I critique Napoleon just based on the trailer alone.
Kevin ChanHOST
Ridley, I think, has sort of dipped in recent years, but I think you like that movie, so...
Kevin ChanHOST
Yeah,
Paul RootHOST
uh the commander
Ben McFaddenHOST
Oh, wait, Napoleon.
Ben McFaddenHOST
No one saw Napoleon, but Napoleon.
Ben McFaddenHOST
No,
Paul RootHOST
I didn't see.
Paul RootHOST
No, I haven't seen either of those.
Mychal DynesGUEST
I saw Napoleon.
Mychal DynesGUEST
Maybe Commander's not right.
RachelHOST
I know, but I feel like most people have been like, oh yeah, I've already heard of that.
RachelHOST
Not me being like Napoleon from Ridley
MaddieHOST
Scott.
MaddieHOST
Did you have expectations?
Patrick GreenHOST
And we just had gladiator two before the dog stars and just a lot of kind of embarrassing stuff.
Jamie PraterHOST
Napoleon.
Jamie PraterHOST
Yeah.
Patrick GreenHOST
Napoleon.
Patrick GreenHOST
Yeah.
Patrick GreenHOST
Just pretty, pretty embarrassing things.
Shane A BassettGUEST
Oh yeah.
Shane A BassettGUEST
Well, you know, if they were, although Ridley Scott, I don't know if he used AI for Napoleon, but if they made movies like.
Shane A BassettGUEST
Lawrence of Arabia and Braveheart, they would think about using AI for that because they were all experts.
Pat PanettaHOST
They were all people.
Ryan EllisHOST
I was so glad this won that award.
Ryan EllisHOST
It beat out Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning, Ridley Scott's Napoleon, The Creator, and Guardians 3, which I think should have been the runner-up for that Oscar.
Ryan EllisHOST
We don't know, but I bet it was.
Ryan EllisHOST
I hope it was.
JaxonHOST
... several times.
JaxonHOST
He gets, quote, "anxious over the role." Um, another high-profile movie that they tried very hard to keep under wraps, but again, there was a lot of investigative reporting after the collapse of De noche, um, into Joaquin Phoenix, he almost quit Napoleon.
JaxonHOST
He very closely-
MayaHOST
Oh
JaxonHOST
... quit Napoleon, and Sony and Apple, who were the backers behind this, tried everything they could to keep him on, even hired Paul Thomas Anderson to do rewrites of the movie so that Joaquin would be happier with the script.
JaxonHOST
Um, he dropped out of the movie, um, Split.
JaxonHOST
It was not supposed to be James McAvoy.
Jonathan RossHOST
Um, and it's more kind of like noblemen, but it's good.
Jonathan RossHOST
I didn't enjoy Ridley Scott's Napoleon.
Honey RossHOST
No, famously.
Jonathan RossHOST
But I just thought it was-
Mehdi AchoucheGUEST
So I do believe that.
Mehdi AchoucheGUEST
even though we have to accept the mythical nature of cinema, these films, like the recent Napoleon, for example, we discussed Napoleon, the way he depicted history was very problematic, I thought.
Mehdi AchoucheGUEST
And even though I was prepared to give the movie some leeway in the way he depicted the past, I thought there were some very problematic aspects of that movie's representation of history.
Mehdi AchoucheGUEST
I don't know if that makes sense, but I do believe that we need to think of those films in terms of mythology, of myth making, but still within the confines of having this kind of responsibility towards the audiences.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
Interesting.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
Yeah, it's always a tricky problem that I think I remember seeing Ridley Scott's Napoleon as well.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
And I said I didn't expect any sort of historical veracity to it.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
But I also thought the movie itself was really dull.
Keith KrepchoHOST
... to have this kind of talent and control, this guy's never gonna lose it.
Keith KrepchoHOST
And then, you know, they make, uh, freaking Napoleon, and you're like, "Ooh."
Justin BlizzardHOST
Yikes.
Keith KrepchoHOST
How'd you lo- how'd you lose it, buddy?
