On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Monday September 5th 2016) John talks about the following:1) Ann’s dad 2) John Williams concert3) New schedule with joining Movie Talk Again FAN QUESTIONS:Philip Dagostino writes: Hey John, really excited you’re making your triumphant return to movie talk this week,but as a long time fan I have to ask: why do you keep leaving and returning? Isn’t this like the 3rd time? Are you sticking around this time? Not trying to give you a hard time, just really needed to ask.Chris Warden writes: What up John? I hope you & Anne had a great summer. Is there any chance you can publicly debunk this rumor going around that Suicide Squad needs to make 800 million dollars at the worldwide box-office just to break even? I personally can't see any studio head greenlighting a film project that needs to make that much to break even as the risk is just too high. John Michael Klobuchar writes: What are your thoughts on people who say Star Wars The Force Awakens, will receive the same backlash as The Phantom Menace over time? Personally I think thats nonsense.Yuhan Houth writes: Just a quick one. What are some films that come to mind whenever someone complains about lack of original content from Hollywood. It really annoys me whenever I see this complaint on message boards.Ben Davis writes: My question is regarding Jared Leto's joker. I'm a huge 30 seconds to Mars fan and a huge fan of Mr. Leto himself so I was pretty excited when he was first cast. Now after the movies release and reception I've had time to reflect upon his performance and I gotta say I loved it! He was in two of the best scenes in the entire movie (club scene/Harley and the chemicals scene). However it seems to me his performance has kind of a split reception with some liking it and some hating it. Do you think this will hurt us seeing him in another movie?Scott Wooldridge writes: Love listening to you talk everything movies! This summer was definitely a little disappointing for movies. My question is... even though we had a below average summer do you think we are in store for an amazingly strong fall? It seems like with Telluride and the Venice film festival, movies like Hacksaw Ridge, Loving, The Arrival, and La La Land are all getting lots of buzz. I feel like maybe more than previous years?

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Wednesday August 3rd 2016) John is joined by writer/director Jon Schnepp and together they discuss:1) Suicide Squad thoughts2) Rotten Tomatoes petitionFAN QUESTIONS:Rox Baicea writes: I know you liked Suicide Squad, but judging by what other people are saying I feel like half the things we've seen in ads, trailers and behind the scenes footage are not in the movie - Joker slapping Harley and her pointing a gun at him, Joker throwing a grenade and disappearing into the background, the line where he says "I can't wait to show you my toys", Joker patting a black case, Joker looking at his phone, Harley choking her bat like a gun, the scene where she asks everyone what they'd like to drink - apparently none of these things are in the movie. My question is how can we explain this? Why would WB release an incomplete Suicide Squad movie after releasing an incomplete BVS movie and being criticized for it? A Klay writes: Does The Jungle Book have a shot at being an Oscar contender? I feel like it absolutely deserves it based on its groundbreaking visual effects and it's strong direction and writing. However, I fear that it will be overlooked. Thanks!John Feinstein writes:As I'm sure you've noticed, the early Suicide Squad reviews were pretty negative, and that kinda brought everyone's spirits down. However, now that Jeremy Jahns has given the movie a pretty good review, a lot of his fanboys are flocking to anything Suicide Squad-related, saying things like "Jeremy said it was good, so fuck the critics." I would love to hear your thoughts on these people who seem to hold one man's opinion in higher regard than the opinions of 50 certified RT critics. (No hate for Jeremy, I just don't think he's the messiah of movie reviews) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The John Campea Podcast (recorded Tuesday August 2nd 2016) John talk about the following:1) Channing Tatum in SPLASH remake2) Suicide Squad3) GSP coming back to UFC?FAN QUESTIONS:Kathy Lin writes: Considering MOS (which i love, made me love superman), kick-started the DCEU, i cant help but feel sorry for HC and superman, getting pushed aside in favor of batman. HC's superman just don't get enough love with many hating his superman portrayal. His performance was so forgotten and underappreciated by many with many calling him a bad, bland, wooden actor. Lately, i read that WB suggested having HC to be Tarzan but David Yates didn't want him because of his high profile. I cant help but think of the number of projects he might have missed out on because of his fame or 'infamous' as the cinematic superman everyone in Hollywood seems to dislike or care about. As much as i love him as superman and very excited with the DCEU, but i'm worried for his career. Thoughts? Tom Shotter writes: I listened to your podcast about comic con moving to Vegas and it makes perfect sense. However, do you think comic con is under pressure from San Diego city council or whatever it's called over there because if you move comic con to Vegas how much money will the local businesses lose?SamDean writes: Hello John loving podcast, with Warcraft failing to make the$500,000,000 that needed to break even, does mean future in film fornow is dead. Thanks & May Force Be With You!Dejan Borjanovic writes: Where is Mickey Rourke? He had a long-time absence but then had a great resurgence with 2008's The Wrestler and then Iron Man 2, but now he has disappeared again. Why do you think that is? Learn more about your ad choices.
