RussellHOST
It's Malkovich.
RussellHOST
It's Sam Rockwell.
RussellHOST
It's set on like Easter Island, CIA, a little bit of a period film.
RussellHOST
But this, McDonagh made In Bruges, which I've never seen.
Mark NormandHOST
That was my Virginia.
Paul Walter HauserGUEST
I would say I was in a group text at one point with a bunch of cool guys, and it kind of fizzled out, but it was like, Sam Rockwell has a habit of if he's buddies with you, he'll just introduce you to all his friends.
Paul Walter HauserGUEST
Oh, cool.
Paul Walter HauserGUEST
And I was in a group text with him.
Grace RandolphHOST
Although what kind of a bigger payday could he get than 20 million? Wow, his career is in a good space.
Grace RandolphHOST
Now, what potential paths lie before Austin Abrams? So when I first saw Resident Evil, I was thinking Sam Rockwell, and I said that in my coverage.
Grace RandolphHOST
But then when I saw the movie again last night, I thought maybe Charlton Copley.
Grace RandolphHOST
But then when I saw so many people crushing on Austin Abrams on social media, I thought to myself, you know, maybe Michael J.
Grace RandolphHOST
Fox.
Grace RandolphHOST
So what are these different paths? So Sam Rockwell always works, award-winning, deeply respected by industry and fans, but he's not A-list, meaning he can't open a movie by himself.
Grace RandolphHOST
That's not a bad path at all.
Grace RandolphHOST
Austin Abrams would be lucky to walk that path.
Chris FeilHOST
Because we should say what it's about.
Chris FeilHOST
Malkovich and Sam Rockwell are two U.S. agents in Chile preparing for the overthrow of Allende.
Chris FeilHOST
uh including like telling chilean citizens uh who are you know in the form of these two female characters who are really really underwritten
Joe ReidHOST
yes
Josh LHOST
They literally it's just two 70s CIA black ops guys travel to Easter Island.
Josh LHOST
But functionally, Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich, who are both good at the movie.
Josh LHOST
are just playing the exact same roles of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson and have a very similar comedic dynamic between the two of them, are going through the same existential reckonings, including whether one is going to have to kill the other one.
Josh LHOST
There were so many beats that were identical to In Bruges.
Jamie MillerHOST
I really did enjoy that because there is something like a balance between his, his like bigoted hate and then his just like slowed down kind of old man, stupid brain that's happening, uh, because of the drugs.
Jamie MillerHOST
Um, I just, that, that delivery itself was really, was really funny and, um, just a unique.
Jamie MillerHOST
And then Sam Rockwell is fantastic.
Jamie MillerHOST
I do think he's kind of doing his, his Rockwell thing for the most part, but he's just so charming that I, I find him, uh, entertaining all the time, like just in every movie that I've ever seen.
Christopher RosenGUEST
And I don't think that's necessarily a negative.
Christopher RosenGUEST
I think, like, it is, you know, like, already, like, locked into a bunch of nominations, including Best Picture, and I think Best Director, and John Malkovich for Best Actor, Sam Rockwell.
Christopher RosenGUEST
Like, you could go down the line.
Christopher RosenGUEST
I do think it'll do really well.
Christopher RosenGUEST
I think so.
Christina Jeurling BirroHOST
I think, I mean, John Malkovich is just a shoo-in for that incredible performance.
Christina Jeurling BirroHOST
And I can't see a world in which Sam Rockwell isn't considered at all.
Christina Jeurling BirroHOST
So, I mean, and the writing, the screenplay.
Chris CoxHOST
movie.
Chris CoxHOST
With his best friend, another CIA agent, Lee, played by Sam Rockwell.
Chris CoxHOST
And you were like, all you had to tell me that this is a two-hander with Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich as like two best friends.
Chris CoxHOST
And I'm like, I don't care what it's about.
Chris CoxHOST
I'm going to see that.
WrightPANELIST
