I'm like, oh shit, it was Taika Waititi.
Lily KHOST
It was Taika Waititi.
Lily KHOST
And Kiwi Kwon, whenever he shows up, I'm immediately like, Hooray! And you know, I don't throw that word around lightly.
Danny WeiserHOST
It's probably the worst Marvel movie.

Danny WeiserHOST
Chris Hemsworth is still here.
Danny WeiserHOST
We're gonna get to see Natalie Portman do, like, her ver-" That's, that's such a fun little nod that we get to see, like, in comics and stuff.
Ellen BeckHOST
So bad
Danny WeiserHOST
...
Danny WeiserHOST
Tika- Taika does this in that, like, if he isn't handcuffed a little bit, he ventures across the silly stupid line into stupid territory, and he made Thor an idiot.
Danny WeiserHOST
No longer just, like, funny comic relief fish out of water.

speaker_6HOST
They want the adults who read the Ishiguro novel.
speaker_6HOST
They want the comedy fans who follow Taika Waititi, and they want the general sci-fi crowd.
speaker_2HOST
They want everyone.
speaker_6HOST
They want everyone.
speaker_2HOST
It's a sweeping absolute dismissal of a decades-long filmography based on a two-minute trailer for a movie he hasn't even seen yet.
speaker_6HOST
And it gets so much more specific and aggressive.
speaker_6HOST
A user named itsusoo accuses Waititi of turning every film into the Taika Waititi show.

Do you know who Rachel House is? No, I don't.
ColeHOST
She's in a lot of the Taika Waititi movies.
ColeHOST
She's the Maori actress who's in all of his movies.
ConnorHOST
Sure.
JimHOST
I hope it's, you know, you can't really expect that same magic to happen again.
JimHOST
It's kinda like, you know how, like, after Thor: Ragnarok, Taika k- tried to just kinda recreate the magic with Love and Thunder and it just fell flat.
EricHOST
Yeah.
JimHOST
Just wasn't funny.
EricHOST

LindsayHOST
This is one that I feel so conflicted about because I am t- simultaneously so excited and terrified, and that is Klara and the Sun, um, which it will release on October 23rd.
LindsayHOST
It will star Jenna Ortega, Amy Adams, Steve Buscemi, and Natasha Lyonne and is directed by one of my favorite directors of all time, Taika Waititi, based on the book of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro.
LindsayHOST
This is one of my favorite books.
MagdaHOST
Oof.
LindsayHOST
There is.
MagdaHOST
We have an amazing author that is, you know, hopefully kinda gave the okay and he was consulted.
MagdaHOST
We have Taika Waititi, who like has done really incredible work in the past.
LindsayHOST
Mm-hmm.
